Answer 1

volumeshot=differencwe in water level

densityshot=massshot/volumeshot

Answer 2

Ok awesome! But I'm a bit confused as to what volume shot, density and mass shot mean?

Answer 3

volume shot means volume of the shot, density shot and mass shot means density of the shot and mass of the shot. Those are spelled out in your problem. For example the mass of the iron shot is 28.5 g.

Answer 4
