The Marble
We will say the marble that our
marble is of average game size, about 3/4" diameter,
a fairly typical game size for a marble giving us a
volume of 3.59x10
m.
Since most marbles are glass, assume ours is as
well.
Radius:
r = diameter / 2
Volume of a sphere:
With the a glass density of 2500 kg per cubic meter,
our marble has a mass of 9 grams.
Density:
In order for the marble to have the same kinetic
energy as the Bloodhound, the marble will have to
be moving at a rate of just over 980000 km/hr. At
that rate, said marble would circumnavigate the
earth (distance wise) in about 15 minutes.
