Answer and Explanation:

Most of the distances in the galaxy are measured in light years instead of meter because the distances in galaxy are very large and it is very difficult to measure in meters and light year is the largest unit of distance so it is very easy to measure large distances in light year so we prefer light year instead of meters for measuring distances in galaxy.

A student wants to determine the density of titanium. The student measures the mass of a solid chunk of titanium, but when he dr

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Lower than it should be.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the density is computed by:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

And we obtain the volume of the solid by substracting the mass of the water and the solid minus the mass of water:

$V_{solid}=V_{solid\ with \ water}-V_{water}$

If some water is splashed out of the cylinder, the volume of water will be lower than originally measured, it means that the volume of the solid will be higher than real. In such a way, since the density is in an inversely proportional relationship with volume, as the volume of the solid is wrongly increased, therefore the density of the solid will be lower than in should be.

Regards.
