    Finding the volume of gold in intergalactic space

    Then switching values I get: 19300 / 8 x10[SIZE="1"]24 = mass, m = 2.4 x 10[SIZE="1"]-21. Substituting my "m" value into the first half of the question: 2.5 x10[SIZE="1"]-27 / 2.4 x 10[SIZE="1"]-21 = v, v = 1.04 x 10[SIZE="1"]-6. So is the answer "A"? Or have I missed interpreted your help...

    Finding the volume of gold in intergalactic space

    The average density of the material in intergalactic space is approximately 2.5 × 10^–27 kg/m^3. What is the volume of a gold sample, ρ = 19 300 kg/m^3, that has the same mass as 8.0 × 10^24/ m^3 of intergalactic space? a. 1.0 × 10^–6 m^3 b. 2.0 × 10^–5 m^3 c. 5.0 × 10^–5 m^3...

    What is the tension in the center of the rope in a tug-of-war?

    Textbook question: In a tug-of-war, each man on a 5-man team pulls with an avg force of 500N. What is the tension in the center of the rope? Is the answer 2500N because each mans force is added together, or since the question uses avg, is the answer 500N? OR am I wrong with both conclusions?
