The picture isn’t clear so I can’t read the dimensions of the box but I can try my best to guide u through the question.
For part a u need to find the volume of the box as that will equal the volume of sand that can be filled inside.
For this u multiply the height, width and length of the box.
For part b the mass of sand alone will be
=Mass of box + sand - Mass of empty box
=216 - 40
=176 grams
For part c the density of sand can be calculated by the formula
Density= Mass/Volume
So the mass (176g) / volume from part a
For part d u need to know that something will float if it has a lower density than what it is floating in. If the final density of sand that was found in part c is less than the density of gold (19.3 g/cm^3) it will float. Otherwise it will sink.
Hope this helped!
Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before.
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.
This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:
Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).
D = 1/2 A T²
For your student who dropped an object out of the window,
Distance = 19.6 m
Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²
D = 1/2 G T²
19.6 = 4.9 T²
Divide each side by 4.9 : 4 = T²
Square root each side: 2 = T
When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes 2 seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.
Meters for mass kilograms for volume cubic meters for density kilograms per cubic meter
