In accordance with the definition of density as r = m/V, in order to determine the density of
matter, the mass and the volume of the sample must be known.
The determination of mass can be performed directly using a weighing instrument.
The determination of volume generally cannot be performed directly. Exceptions to this rule
include
· cases where the accuracy is not required to be very high, and
· measurements performed on geometric bodies, such as cubes, cuboids or cylinders, the volume
of which can easily be determined from dimensions such as length, height and diameter.
· The volume of a liquid can be measured in a graduated cylinder or in a pipette; the volume of
solids can be determined by immersing the sample in a cylinder filled with water and then
measuring the rise in the water level.
Because of the difficulty of determining volume with precision, especially when the sample has a
highly irregular shape, a "detour" is often taken when determining the density, by making use of the
Archimedean Principle, which describes the relation between forces (or masses), volumes and
densities of solid samples immersed in liquid:
From everyday experience, everyone is familiar with the effect that an object or body appears to
be lighter than in air – just like your own body in a swimming pool.

Answer:
A. Mass(only)
Explanation:
The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.
Answer:
The pendulum of the clock.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The kinetic energy is the energy associated with the velocity of the object. The potential energy is the energy associated with the position of the object. In the objects listed in the question, only one object is moving: the pendulum of the clock (assuming that the clock is functioning). If the clock functions, the pendulum is moving when it is at the lowest point of its arc of motion and with maximum velocity. All potential energy that the pendulum stored when it reached the highest height, is transformed into kinetic energy at the lowest point. Thus, at that point, the object has more kinetic energy than potential energy.
Answer:
21000 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Change in momentum = 105000 kg.m/s
Time = 5s
Force =?
Force is related to momentum and time according to the following formula:
Force = Change in momentum / time
With the above formula, we can calculate the force the white car experience during the collision. This can be obtained as illustrated below:
Change in momentum = 105000 kg.m/s
Time = 5s
Force =?
Force = Change in momentum / time
Force = 105000 / 5
Force = 21000 N
Thus, the white car experience a force of 21000 N during the collision.
