what is the mass

Answer 1

Answer: Hello! Here we have a cube, with a mass of 10g and a side length of 2.5cm.

First we want to determine the volume.

The volume of a cube, is equal to his cubic side length, where L is the side length:

So
`V = L^(3)  = (2.5cm)^(3)  = 15.625 cm^(3)`

So the volume of the cube is 15.625 cubic centimeters.

Now we want to calculate te density of the material, as you know:

`density = (mass)/(volume) = (10g)/(15.625cm^(3) ) = 0.64 g/cm^(3)`

This means that the density is 0.64 grams per cubic centimeter.
