Question

While calculating the density of a cork, Harry makes a mistake and measures the mass of the cork to be higher than the actual mass. If he does everything else correctly, how will Harry's incorrect measurement of mass affect his density calculation? (Hint: density = mass/volume)

His calculated density will be exactly the same as the actual density of the cork.

His calculated density will be in different units than the actual density of the cork.

His calculated density will be higher than the actual density of the cork.

His calculated density will be lower than the actual density of the cork.

Answer 1

from your function it looks like density increases as mass increases

Answer 2

density is mass divided by volume right? if mass is increased, how will density change?

Answer 3

it will get higher right

Answer 4

yea =)

Answer 5

density will be higher

Answer 6

so the answer would be C

Answer 7

yes.

Answer 8

Alejandra measures the mass of a cup of baking soda three times. Her measurements all exactly reflect the actual mass of the baking soda.

If each measurement in a set of data has a high level of accuracy, this indicates

nothing about the level of precision of the data set.

that the precision of the data set cannot be evaluated.

that the data set has a very low level of precision.

that the data set also has a high level of precision.

Answer 9

His calculated density will be lower than the actual density of the cork.
