What is the density of a 36 g object with a volume of 15 cm3? (Density: D = )

0.42 g/cm3
0.54 g/cm3
2.4 g/cm3
5.4 g/cm3

1 answer

To find the density of the object, you can use the formula for density:

\[ D = \frac{m}{V} \]

where \( D \) is the density, \( m \) is the mass, and \( V \) is the volume.

Given:

  • Mass \( m = 36 \) g
  • Volume \( V = 15 \) cm³

Now, plug in the values:

\[ D = \frac{36 , \text{g}}{15 , \text{cm}^3} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ D = 2.4 , \text{g/cm}^3 \]

So, the density of the object is \( 2.4 , \text{g/cm}^3 \).

The correct answer is 2.4 g/cm³.
