lenny accidentally drops his matchbox car into a graduated cylinder. if the car has a mass of 10 grams and the water level in the cylinder rises from 41 ml to 46 ml. determine the density of the matchbox car. the formula for density is d = m v

Respuesta :

Answer: Denisty = 2.0 g/mL

[tex]Density =\frac{Mass}{volume}[/tex]

The mass of the matchbox is, [tex]m = 10 g[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder = volume of water displaced in the cylinder when matchbox is immersed = final volume - initial volume.

[tex]V=v_f-v_i=46 mL-41 mL=5.0 mL[/tex]

[tex]Density =\frac{Mass}{volume}=\frac{10g}{5mL}=2.0g/mL[/tex]

Hence, the density of matchbox is 2.0 g/mL

Answer:

2.0
