An object has a length of 5.0 cm, a height of 3.0 cm and a width of 15.0 cm. It has a mass of 24 grams. What is its density?
about 0.11 0r 0.106
Figure the volume of that object.
density=mass/volume
its [.11]
To find the density of an object, you need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
First, convert the length, height, and width into cm³ to calculate the volume of the object. Since the object is rectangular, the volume is given by:
Volume = Length x Height x Width
Substituting the given values into the equation:
Volume = 5.0 cm x 3.0 cm x 15.0 cm = 225 cm³
Now, plug in the given mass (24 grams) and calculated volume (225 cm³) into the density formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 24 g / 225 cm³
Now, divide the mass by the volume to get the density:
Density = 0.10667 g/cm³
Therefore, the density of the object is approximately 0.10667 g/cm³.
