Assume an asteroid is in the shape of a sphere and has a mass of 1,100 kilograms. Determine the density (in grams per cubic centimeter) of this asteroid if its diameter is known to be 0.8 meters. Useful information: 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 m = 100 cm, volume of sphere = 4/3 π r3. Remember that the radius of a sphere is equal to half its diameter!
