Question

ANALYZE A ball of clay is manipulated into different shapes in each of the images

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of mass and matter in all the transformations of the clay ball will remain the same or constant

Explanation:

From the  law of conservation of mass we have, for an enclosed system to and from which there is no transfer of matter or energy, mass cannot be created nor destroyed, and remains constant at the given value, but the matter which make up the mass can be changed into different forms

Therefore, the clay ball can be transformed into different shapes and will still posses the same initial mass before the transformation, provided there are no transfer of matter or energy from the clay ball system.
