Answer:
25 cm²
Explanation:
Meters and centimeters are both the units for measuring length. The SI unit of measuring length is meters.
Area is the quantity which measures the cross-section occupied by the object.
Thus,
Given that = Area = 0.0025 m²
To convert into cm²
1 m = 100 cm
So, 1 m² = 10000 cm²
So,
<u>Area = 0.0025 × 10000 cm² = 25 cm²</u>
There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.
i) that the boulder is above ground.
ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.
iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.
The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.
All the above methods are estimating methods.
*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.
S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>
Density of water
If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.
If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.
This is what I think after correction and allthe best!
The unit of acceleration would be m/s² :)
