Question

Emma is conducting an investigation to compare several physical properties of samples of two different kinds of rocks. When she measured and compared the masses of the two rocks, she found that rock 1 had a greater mass than rock 2. Which of the following is the best prediction of how another property of the rocks will compare?

A. The density of rock 1 will be the same as the density of rock 2
B. The weight of rock will be the greater than the weight of rock 2
C. The volume of rock 1 will be less than the volume of rock 2
D. The state of matter of rock 1 will be different than that of rock 2

Answer 1

B. The weight of rock 1 will be the greater than the weight of rock 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the mass of rock 1 is greater than the mass of rock 2.

Now, weight is given by;

W = mg.

g is constant. Thus means that weight of rock 1 will be greater than weight of rock 2.
