2a. What is the density of a metal block with a volume of 15cm^3 and a mass of 5 grams show all work.



2b. Will that metal block float or sink? Why?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

a).

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\ [/tex]

So we have

[tex]density = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} \\ = 0.33333...[/tex]

We have the answer as

0.33 g/cm³

b).

The block will float on water since it's density is less than that of water which is

1 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
