The volume of a sphere is found by the formula

3/4 πr3

We will use 3.1416 as an approximate value for π

As r in this case is equal to 0.5,

The equation is not

3/4 (3.1416) (0.5)3 or 0.75 x 3.1416 x 0.125, which equals 0.294525 cubic inches.

So the length of ne side of the cube will be the cube root of 0.294525, which is 0.665335538359562 inches.

Or, two-thirds of an inch, roughly,

Two cubes are exactly the same size. The cube that is made of the material with the largest density will have the largest mass.


What is bigger the surface area of a sphere or the surface area of a cube if they have the same volume?

surface area of sphere = 4πR2 volume of sphere = 4/3πR3 surface area of cube = 6s2 volume of cube = s3 since volumes are equal then s3 = 4/3πR3 s = [cube root (4/3π)] R surface area ofcube = 6 (cube root( 4/3π) times R)2 surface area sphere = 4πR2= 12.56 R2 surface area cube = 15.44 R2 So a sphere has less surface area than a cube with the same volume. Where R= radius of the sphere s=length of side of the cube Sorry,calculation above is now corrected - same equations, earlier made math error - cube has more surface area as you can see

The cube made of the material with the largest density will have the greatest mass since density is the mass per unit volume. This means that for the same size, the denser material will have more mass packed into it compared to the less dense material.


What is an order of a shape?

Think of a shape being made of putty. You are allowed to flatten it or make corners but you cannot create or remove any holes. In this context, a sphere and a cube are the same - you can make a sphere into a cube by flattening some faces. But a sphere cannot be re-moulded into a torus (doughnut). This is topology and the order of a shape is the number of "holes" in it.


What is the difference between a cube and a sphere?

A cube is a 3D version of a square, a sphere is a 3D circle.Difference: a cube has 6 square flat sides, but the sphere has an infinite number of flat triangular sides. Since a sphere is made of an infinite number of points equal distant from the center, you can connect any three of those points forming a triangle that does not encompass another point on that sphere, then lay a plane in contact with those 3 points to form one of the infinite number of triangular flat sides. You can argue that in theory this is impossible, but with practical reasoning it is possible if the sphere is to indeed have any surface at all.


When was the first Rubik's Cube made?

The rubik's cube was invented in 1974. It has been manufactured ever since then. The original rubik's cube was made in 1974 when Rubik was 30 years old. It was a wooden model with flat edges more like a sphere than a cube. It wasn't sold in mass production as a patent until 1975 getting many sales for Ernő Rubik, but in 1977 the patent was finally disclosed and many stores started selling the "Magic Cube". 3 years later in 1980 it was renamed to the "Rubik's Cube" making the rubik's cube technically made in 1980.

Why are submarines torpedo shaped and not cubes or spheres?

A couple of reasons.A submarine isn't shaped like a cube because water flowing around a cube would make noise that could be heard on sonar. Submarine forces work very hard to make their submarines less audible.It also isn't shaped like a cube because depending on the way the cube is oriented in the water, it would take more power to push the submarine through the water.A combat submarine isn't shaped like a sphere because a sphere won't hold as much load as they would the shape they are made. They have made spherical-shaped submersibles for extremely deep-water exploration because a sphere is the most pressure-resistant shape.
