Lenny accidentally drops his matchbox car into a graduated cylinder. The car has a mass of 10 grams and the water level in the cylinder rises from 41 ml to 46 ml. Determine the density of the matchbox car. The formula for density is D =
m
v
.
A) 0.5 g/ml
B) 2 g/ml
C) 15 g/ml
D) 50 g/ml

Answer 1

B) = 2 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of car = 10 g

Volume of water = 41 mL

Volume of water+ car = 46 mL

Density of car = ?

Solution:

Density is equal to the mass of object divided by volume of object.

Formula:

d = m/v

volume of car = Volume of water+ car - Volume of water

volume of car = 46 mL - 41 mL

volume of car = 5 mL

d = 10 g/ 5 mL

d = 2 g/mL
