Question

16. A baseball has a mass of 1500 grams and displaces 500 ml. of water. What is
it's density?

Answer 1

3.00 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of the baseball (m): 1500 g

Volume of the baseball = Volume of water displaced (V): 500 mL

Density of the baseball (ρ): ?

Step 2: Calculate the density of the baseball

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

ρ = m/V

ρ = 1500 g/500 mL

ρ = 3.00 g/mL
