Question

An object has a mass of 48g and it has a height of 5cm, a width of 2cm and a length of 5cm.

Answer 1

0.96g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 48g

Height of the object = 5cm

Width of the object = 2cm

Length of the object = 5cm

Unknown:

Density = ?

Solution:

Density of a body is the mass per unit volume of the body.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance

Volume is the space such a body occupies

To find the volume;

Volume = l x w x h

Insert the parameters and solve;

Volume = 5cm x 2cm x 5cm = 50cm³

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Density =
`(48 )/(50)` = 0.96g/cm³
