the density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. 
a. Give a possible metric unit for density. 
b. Is the unit for density base or derived? ​

Respuesta :

Answers:

a) [tex]kg/m^{3} [/tex]

b) derived

Explanation:

Density [tex]D[/tex] is a characteristic property of substances and materials and is defined as the relationship between the mass [tex]m[/tex] and volume [tex]V[/tex] of a specific substance or material, as shown below:

[tex]D=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]

This means density is inversely proportional to volume.

In addition, density is a derived unit, because is based on two basic units of the International Sistem of Units: Mass (kilograms) and Volume (cubic meters)
