a large jar contains 500 marbles suppose you have an identical empty jar how would you find the mass of one marble
1. Find the masses of each jar.
2. Subtract the empty jar from the jar with marbles.
3. Divide by 500!
4. Tada!
Ex: Jar w/ marbles: 600 grams
Empty Jar: 100 grams
Jar w/ marbles - Jar = 500 grams
500 grams/ 500 = 1 gram (one marble = 1 gram)
To find the mass of one marble, you can follow these steps:
1. Measure the mass of the large jar containing 500 marbles using a scale. Let's say the mass is M grams.
2. Using the identical empty jar, measure its mass alone, without any marbles inside. Let's say the mass is E grams.
3. Subtract the mass of the empty jar (E) from the mass of the jar containing the marbles (M) to find the total mass of the marbles alone: M - E = T grams.
4. Divide the total mass of the marbles (T) by the number of marbles (500) to find the mass of one marble: T / 500 = Mass of one marble in grams.
5. The resulting value is the mass of one marble in grams.
Note: Make sure to use a precise and accurate scale for measurements. Additionally, it's essential that the empty jar is truly identical to the jar with the marbles, as any differences in weight could affect the result.
