what's the formula connecting density and volume? do u know it?
OpenStudy (somy):
\[density = mass \div volume\]
OpenStudy (somy):
okay, lets do an example for u to get to the answer okay? @it_meh_miranda
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah it d=m divided by v and ok
OpenStudy (somy):
cool
lets say
your volume is 5cm3 and your mass is 10 kg

whats ur density?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (somy):
okay good
now ur volume is doubled, 5*2= 10cm3 and ur mass is same 10kg
OpenStudy (somy):
whats ur density now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 1

OpenStudy (somy):
so, we doubled volume, what happened to density?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it doubles too?
OpenStudy (somy):
it was 2 but now its 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait no
OpenStudy (somy):
so?

so it decreases by half
OpenStudy (somy):
bingo! :)

Which statement best describes volume?
A.
the measure of the amount of matter in a given space
B.
the measure of the amount of pull exerted on an object by a gravitational field
C.
the measure of the amount of matter in an object
D.
the measure of the amount of space that an object occupies
OpenStudy (somy):
what's the formula of volume?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um v=m divided by d right? i forget it sry its been awile
OpenStudy (somy):
volume= height*area

oh yeah
OpenStudy (somy):
if u look at formula, what do u think it represents? what does it talk about?
OpenStudy (somy):
rather what does it tell u?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it tell u that to find the volume u have to multiply the height by the area i think
OpenStudy (somy):
no no, i meant what does it tell u about

OpenStudy (somy):
does it tell u about matter?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um idk sry im not good at science im stupid when it comes to it
OpenStudy (somy):
no no don't say that
OpenStudy (somy):
height and area is not matter is it?
OpenStudy (somy):
that means volume does not give u any info about matter, do u agree to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
OpenStudy (somy):
so which options can u get rid off
OpenStudy (somy):
of*
OpenStudy (somy):
A, B, C, D
which of them talk about matter?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A and C

OpenStudy (somy):
good job! so u r left with B and D
now which one to u think is ur right answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um D?
OpenStudy (somy):
bingo! :) why not B?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it just doesnt sound right to me
OpenStudy (somy):
B is about force, but volume doesn't give anything to do with force :)

OpenStudy (somy):
that's why i'd choose D
OpenStudy (somy):
since height and area are about amount of space :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah

How is density calculated?
A.
It is calculated by length times width times height.
B.
Mass multiplied by volume.
C.
Mass divided by volume.
D.
The amount of water displaced.
OpenStudy (somy):
u tell me this now

look at previous questions u asked and u'll get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
C
OpenStudy (somy):
see) good job)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol thx when i saw the question after i put it up i remembered we already did that
OpenStudy (somy):
heh you are welcome :) @it_meh_miranda
