The density of an object is its mass per unit volume. An object has a mass of 4.2 grams and a volume of 2 cm3. What is the density of the object?
A. 8.4 g/cm^3
B. 0.5 g/cm^3
C. 2.1 g/cm^3
D. 2.2 g/cm^3

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. 2.1 g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an object is its mass per unit volume.

The formula for density is:

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

The object has a mass of 4.2 grams.

[tex]\implies M=4.2g[/tex]

and a volume of 2 cubic centimeters

[tex]\implies V=2cm^3[/tex]

We substitute the known values into the formula to get:

[tex]D=\frac{4.2}{2}gcm^{-3}[/tex]

We simplify to obtain:

[tex]D=2.1gcm^{-3}[/tex]

Answer:

2.1 g/cm^3 so its c
