A rectangular block of metal weighs 480 g The dimensions of the block are 8 cm by 5 cm by 4 cm From this data, what is the density of copper? (HINT find the volume of a block first)​

D=
M=
V=

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Density = 3g/cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Mass = 480g[/tex]

Dimension: 8 cm by 5 cm by 4 cm

Required

Determine the density

Density is calculated as thus:

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

Where

[tex]Volume = Length * Width * Height[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 8cm * 5cm * 4cm[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 160cm^3[/tex]

So:

[tex]Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex] becomes

[tex]Density = \frac{480g}{160cm^3}[/tex]

[tex]Density = 3g/cm^3[/tex]
