Density — Quiz

Question 8 • Physical Science

Janice measured the mass and the volume of an object. She then determined the density of the object by dividing the object’s mass by its volume open paren cap d is equal to m over v close paren Which value would most likely represent the density of the object?

Answer
A
6 the fraction with numerator g and denominator cm cubed
B
3 meters meters per second
C
4 meters per second
D
negative 1 the fraction with numerator g and denominator cm cubed

Explanation

Density is mass divided by volume, so its units must be units of mass per units of volume, such as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). The value must also be positive for an ordinary object. Therefore, 6 g/cm³ is the most likely density; the meter-per-second choices are speed units, and a negative density is not appropriate.
