Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

Which phrase best describes a meteoroid
Licemer1 [7]
Hello!

The phrase that best describes a meteoroid is "Small pieces of rock and dust in space"

Meteoroids are small bodies of the solar system. They are rocks between 100 μm -50 m in diameter that are smaller than comets and asteroids and bigger than cosmic dust. They commonly are fragments of comets and asteroids that had been separated from them by heavy impacts. When a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, it burns, and the glow that this burn produces is what we call "shooting stars". However, the correct definition is the mentioned above.

Have a nice day!
