Alexis bought a pyramid-like paperweight for her teacher. The paperweight has a volume of 200 cm3 and a density of 1.5 grams per

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The density is equal to the weight divided by the volume:

$\rho=\dfrac{W}{V}$

The paperweight weights 300 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of the paperweight can be calculated knowing the weight and the volume of this paperweight.

The density is equal to the weight divided by the volume:

$\rho=\dfrac{W}{V}$

We know that the density of this paperweight is 1.5 grams per cm3, and its volume is 200 cm3.

We can use the formula of the density to calculate the weight:

$\rho=\dfrac{W}{V}\\\\\\W=\rho\cdot V=1.5\;\dfrac{g}{cm^3}\,\cdot\;200\; cm^3\\\\\\W=300\;g$

The paperweight weights 300 grams.

Therefore, in the second minute, the balloon rises by (120×0.6) =72 feet

And in the third minute, the balloon rises by (72×0.6) =43.2 feet

Hence, in the fourth minute, the balloon rises by (43.2 ×0.6) =25.92 feet (Answer)
