Question

A block of material has a volume of 2m^3. It has a mass of 1 ×10^4 kg. Calculate the density of the material sample and express your results in g/cm^3 with appropriate scientific notation.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: density = 5 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = v = 2 m³

mass = m = 1 x 10⁴ kg

Density = d = ? g/cm³

Formula

density = mass/volume

Volume

1 m³ ------------------- 1 000 000 cm³

2 m³ ------------------ x

x = (2 x 1 000 000) / 1

x = 2 000 000 cm³

Mass

1 kg ------------------ 1000 g

1 x 10⁴ kg ------------ x

x = (1 x 10⁴ x 1000) / 1

x = 10 000 000 g

density = (10 000 000) / 2 000 000

density = 5 g/cm³
