what is the volume of iron (p=7.9 g/cm3) that has a mass of 0.05kg
.05 kg = 50 grams
50 g / 7.9 g/cm^3 = (50/7.9) cm^3
To find the volume of an object, you can use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given that the mass of the iron is 0.05 kg and the density is 7.9 g/cm³, we need to convert kg to g so that the units match. There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, so 0.05 kg is equal to 50 grams.
Let's substitute the values into the formula:
Volume = 50 g / 7.9 g/cm³
Now, divide the mass by the density:
Volume = 6.329 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the iron is 6.329 cm³.
