Question

A ball has a mass of 2000 grams and a volume of 500 ml. What is the density of this ball, and should it sink or float in water?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of the ball can be found by using the formula;

`density \: = (mass)/(volume)`

From the question;

mass = 2000 g

volume = 500 mL

`\therefore \: density = (2000)/(500) = 4`

The density of the ball is 4g/mL

The ball will sink in water since it's density is greater than water which has a density of 1 g/mL.
