Cork floats in water because the cork weighs less than the amount of water that it would have to push up to sink. This basically says that since cork is less dense than water, it floats.

Answer:

2 half-lives=0.8

6 half-lives= 0.05

Explanation

Half-lives are constant and always decrease by half, implying that the concentration decreases by half at a consistent rate.

3.2/2= 1.6/2= 0.8 is two half-lives

3.2/2= 1.6/2= 0.8/2= 0.4/2= 0.2/2= 0.1/2=0.05 is six half-lives

a metal object has a mass of 9.0g and a volume of 1.5ml. what is the density of the object? density= mass/volume

weeeeeb [17]

The density of the metal object=6.0 $\frac{g}{m l}$

Given:

Volume of the metal object=1.5ml

Mass of the metal object=9.0g

To find:

Density of the metal object

<u>Step by Step Explanation: </u>

Solution:

According to the formula, Density of the metal object can be calculated as

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

Where, m=mass of the metal object

$\rho$ =density of the metal object

v=volume of the metal object

We know the values of v=1.5ml and m=9.0g

Substitute these values in the above equation we get

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

$\rho$ =9.0/1.5

=6.0 $\frac{g}{m l}$

Result:

Thus the density of the metal object is 6.0 $\frac{g}{m l}$
