Question

A block has a mass of 325g and a volume of 500mL. What is its density? If water has a density (D=m/v) of 1g/mL, will the block float or sink in water? *
A. 0.65 g/mL, float
B. 1.54 g/mL, float
C. 0.65 g/mL, sink
D. 1.54 g/mL, sink

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 0.65g/mL, float

Explanation:

Mass: 325g

Volume: 500mL

D = m/v

D = 325/500

D = 0.65

Therefore, the block has a density of 0.65g/mL and it will float since the density of water is greater than the density of the block.
