When a helium balloon rises in the air, it expands. If the volume of the balloon doubles, what happens to the density of the helium inside it? A. The density stays the same. B. The density triples. C. The density decreases by half. D. The density doubles.

OpenStudy (somy):

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

OpenStudy (somy):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it decreases by half

OpenStudy (somy):

bingo! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol thx

OpenStudy (somy):

you are welcome :) @it_meh_miranda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got more do u still want to help?

OpenStudy (somy):

oh well sure) let's see if i can)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (somy):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D
