Question

An electrician cuts a 10-meter-long copper wire having a density 8.9 g/cm3 into 10 equal parts. What is the density of each small part? One-tenth of 8.9 g/cm3 since density is an intensive property One-tenth of 8.9 g/cm3 since density is an extensive property 8.9 g/cm3 since density is an intensive property 8.9 g/cm3 since density is an extensive property

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

- The density of an object is the ratio of its mass and volume.

- Both mass and volume are extensive properties.

- The ratio of two extensive properties of the same substance, system or object is an intensive property.

Therefore, density is an intensive property.

- Intensive properties are those which remain unchanged regardless of the quantity of matter being measured.

Therefore, the density will remain 8.9 g/cm3

ANSWER - The density of each small part is 8.9 g/cm3 since density is an intensive property
