Connelly cuts a solid object in half. What happens to the mass, volume, and density of the object that Connelly cuts? A)The mass and volume are both divided by two, and the density is divided by four. B) The volume is divided by two, but the mass and density do not change. C) The physical properties of the substance change, and all three properties must be re-measured. D) The mass and volume are both divided by two, but the density remains the same.

is it c?

not c.

I think it is D.

Are you guessing?

Think about it.
If you cut a piece of wood in the middle, what happens to the mass of each piece? What happens to the volume of each piece? Now the density of the wood is g/volume. You've changed the grams (to 1/2) and you've changed the volume (TO 1/2), what about the density?

then its d?

d it is.

No, it is not option C. The correct answer is option D) The mass and volume are both divided by two, but the density remains the same.

When an object is cut in half, the total mass of the object is divided equally between the two halves. Similarly, the total volume of the object is also divided equally between the two halves. Therefore, the mass and volume of each half of the object will be half of the original.

However, the density of the object is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume. Since both the mass and volume of each half are divided by two, the ratio of mass to volume (density) will remain the same. In other words, density is an intrinsic property of a substance that remains constant regardless of the size or shape of the object.

So, in summary, when an object is cut in half, the mass and volume are both divided by two, but the density remains the same.
