Physical Science

  • An object has a mass of 615 grams and a volume of 105cm^3. What is the density of the object?


  • And considering that their homework is being being answered for them.


  • Yes, I agree with the person who has answered. This answer can not be made better


  • musicfan, If you were not fully satisfied, you could ask for clarification before rating my answer. I don't understand why you were not fully satisfied. Rainbow~


  • It just boils down to something like this: Suppose you have a box, with edges each 1 foot long. So it's a box with a volume of 1 x 1 x 1 = 1^3, or, 1 cubic foot (1 ft^3). Now suppose you put in some marbles, and we're way out in space, weightless, so the marbles can all float about inside the closed box and spread out evenly. If I put in 1 marble, how many marbles per cubic foot is that? It is, of course, 1 marble per cubic foot, or, 1/ft^3. That's the density of marbles, 1/ft^3. Now let's put in more marbles. Put 10 marbles into the same box. What's the density? It's 10/ft^3. It has a density of 10 marbles per cubic foot. But each marble has a property called "mass", which effectively is a measure of how hard it is to change its velocity by pushing on it. But whatever mass ultimately is, you know that each marble hass mass. So by having a certain density of marbles per volume of space -a marble density- you also have a mass density. Let's say that each marble has a mass of 1 ounce. (Abbreviated 1 oz.) One marble constrained within the box gives the box a mass density of 1 oz/ft^3. 10 marbles = 10 oz and the volume has a mass density of 10 oz/ft^3. But whatever the amount of mass and the amount of volume, to get mass density all you need do is divide mass (m) by volume (v): m/v. And it's the same in any system of units. The units in your problem are grams (mass) and centimeters (distance), with volume being c^3. Given mass = 615 grams, and volume = 105 cm^3, what then is the mass density? It is 615/105 ~ 5.86 g/cm^3.
