Question
The approximate radius of a neutron is $1.5 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$, and the mass is $1.675 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$. Calculate the density of a neutron. $V=(4 / 3) \mathrm{p} r^{3}$ for a sphere.
Step 1
We assume that the neutron is a sphere, so we use the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$, where $r$ is the radius of the sphere. Show more…

The approximate radius of a neutron is $1.5 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$ and the mass is $1.675 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$. Calculate the density of a neutron. $V=(4 / 3) \pi r^{3}$ for a sphere.
Determine the density of a neutron. radius = 1.1x10^(-13) power mass = 1.7x10^(-24) power volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr^3 Density = m/V
Neutron stars are composed of solid nuclear matter, primarily neutrons. Assume the radius of a neutron is approximately $1.0 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{cm}$ . Calculate the density of a neutron. [Hint: For a sphere $V=(4 / 3) \pi r^{3} . ]$ Assuming that a neutron star has the same density as a neutron, calculate the mass (in kg) of a small piece of a neutron star the size of a spherical pebble with a radius of 0.10 $\mathrm{mm}$ .
