Question

Object A has a density of 10 g/cm3 and a mass of 9 g. Object B has a density of 10 g/cm3 and a mass of 4 g. Which object has a greater volume and by how much? Object A, by 5 cubic centimeters Object A, by 0.5 cubic centimeter Object B, by 5 cubic centimeters Object B, by 0.5 cubic centimeter

Answer 1

The Volume can be determined by the formula

`V = (mass)/(density)`
So,
V1 = 9/10 = 0.9 cm^3
V2 = 4/10 = 0.4 cm^3
V1 - V2 = 0.5 cm^3
THe answer will be "Object A, by 0.5 cubic centimeter."

Answer 2

Object A, by 0.5 cubic centimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

Density (d) is given by :

`d=(m)/(V)`

m is the mass of an object

V is its volume

For object A:

`V_1=(m_1)/(d_1)`

`V_1=(9\ g)/(10\ g/cm^3)=0.9\ cm^3`...........(1)

For object B:

`V_2=(m_2)/(d_2)`

`V_2=(4\ g)/(10\ g/cm^3)=0.4\ cm^3`...........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) it is clear that volume of object A is greater by 0.5 cm³. So, the correct option is (b) "Object A, by 0.5 cubic centimeter".
