The volume of a sphere is 4/3 (pi) (R)3 .
The volume of each of the 8 spheres is 4/3 (pi) (0.5)3 .
That's (pi/6) mm3 each and 4pi/3 mm3 all together.
To find the size of the combined sphere, start again
with the volume formula and solve it for the radius:
V = 4/3 pi R3
Multiply each side by 3/4 :
3/4 V = pi R3
Divide each side by pi :
3V/4pi = R3
Take the cube root of each side:
R = the cube root of (3V/4pi)
Up above, we wound up with a volume of 4pi/3 mm3 .
So the radius of our new sphere is
cube root of (3V/4pi) = cube root of (3/4pi x 4pi/3) = cube root of (1) = 1 mm
==========================
Check the answer (and a much easier way in which
the answer could have been found):
-- Volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi R3 .
Notice that the volume is proportional to the cube of the radius,
and therefore also to the cube of the diameter.
-- The volume of the big sphere was 8 times the volume of the little ones.
So the big diameter should be the cube root of 8 times the small diameter.
-- The cube root of 8 is 2.
The small diameter is 1.
The big diameter should be 2 x 1 = 2 .
-- I calculated the big radius as 1.
-- Yay !
An example of an induction charging of two metal spheres. The metal spheres are supported by insulating stands so that any charge acquired by the spheres cannot travel to the ground. The spheres are placed side by side (see diagram i. below) so as to form a two-sphere system. Being made of metal (a conductor), electrons are free to move between the spheres - from sphere A to sphere B and vice versa.
You can't, if you mean a microscope with a single, tiny, spherical lens. A sphere allows you to observe an object closer to your eye than 10 inches (which is conidered the closest, normal viewing distance for the human eye). A sphere one inch in diameter allows you to observe an object just as close (or one inch). Since this is ten times closer to your eye, the object appears with a magnification of 10 power. If you want to see an object (through a single lens) with even more magnification, you need a smaller sphere. It's possible to produce spheres with diameters less than 1/10th of an inch. A single spherical lens that small creates maginifications of 100 power. Onwards and Upwards, Paul
Density is calculated as mass divided by volume.To get the total mass, add the masses of the individual worlds.To get the volume, use the formula for a sphere. Presumably it would coalesce into a sphere.Finally, divide the mass by the volume.
You may be looking at a list of multiple choices. I don't know, and I can't see it. The force acting on each sphere and attracting it in the direction of the other sphere is the same.
You can place them at any distance you like.

You cannot blanket a large sphere wit smaller spheres because spheres cannot tessellate. There are always gaps between adjacent spheres and so no blanketing is possible.
If you have an 18 inch diameter sphere on top, you'll have a 36 inch diameter sphere in the middle and a 54 inch diameter sphere on the bottom. 18 x 2 = 36 and 18 x 3 = 54
The total volume of the new sphere will be 4 times less than the sum of all eight individual volumes. The total surface area will be about half than the total surface area of all individual balls.
Kind of. All spheres and circles have a diameter, which is the length of a line passing through the center of the sphere. The only problem is that most planets aren't 100% perfect spheres, so the diameter could be different depending on where you start measuring from.
Each sphere has a volume of about 0.0003 cubic yards and 6/0.0003 = 20,000 spheres
a bisecting line ? Diameter ______________ The question needs to be re-thought. Lines do not cut spheres in half, no matter where the line is in the sphere. The simplest thing that can cut a sphere in half would be a plane.
Spherical. They are approximately spheres. The earth is more of an oblate sphere, a squashed sphere - this is due to its spin.
Spheres are cool. Spheres are the beauty of this galaxy.
The diameter is 48 inches.
Spheres have no edges.
The term 'radius' is almost always applied to spheres and circular objects. It is the distance from the edge of the circle/sphere to the center. Double the radius gives you the diameter, which is the longest chord you will be able to get. In other words, the diameter is the largest distance between any two points in a circle or sphere.
