To find the density of the piece of wood, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \]
Given:
- Mass = 7 g
- Volume = 10 cm³ (which is equivalent to 10 mL)
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{7 , \text{g}}{10 , \text{cm}^3} = 0.7 , \text{g/cm}^3 \]
Now, when the piece of wood is cut in half, the mass of each half will be \( \frac{7 , \text{g}}{2} = 3.5 , \text{g} \), and the volume of each half will be \( \frac{10 , \text{cm}^3}{2} = 5 , \text{cm}^3 \).
Now, calculate the density of each half:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{3.5 , \text{g}}{5 , \text{cm}^3} = 0.7 , \text{g/cm}^3 \]
So, the density of the wood is 0.7 g/cm³, and when the piece is cut in half, the density remains 0.7 g/cm³.
The correct response is:
0.7 g/cm³ and still 0.7 g/cm³.
