Question

) Given below is the mass and volume data of a steel cube and a steel nail. Steel cube Mass: 62.4 kg Volume: 0.008 m3 Nail Mass: 12.48 g Volume: 1.6 cm i) Using the data calculate the density of these objects. ii) Compare the densities of the steel cube and the steel nail ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

All matter has mass and volume. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object

has. Its measure is usually given in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). Volume is the amount of space

an object occupies. There are numerous units for volume including liters (l), meters cubed (m3

),

and gallons (gal).

Mass and volume are physical properties of matter and may vary with different objects.

For example, it is possible for two pieces of metal to be made out of the same material yet for one

piece to be bigger than the other. If the first piece of metal is twice as large as the second, then

you would expect that this piece is also twice as heavy (or have twice the mass) as the first. If

both pieces of metal are made of the same material the ratio of the mass and volume will be the

same.

We define density (ρ) as the ratio of the mass of an object to the volume it occupies. Th
