Question

A student has a solid block of steel and a solid plastic block of the same size.
Which statement best compares the masses of the two blocks
A. The masses cannot be compared without a balance
B. The mass of the steel block is less than the mass of the plastic block
C. The mass of the steel block is the same mass as the mass of the plastic block
D. The mass of the steel block is greater than the mass of the plastic block

Answer 1

The answer is the mass of the steel block is greater than the mass of the plastic block.

Explanation:

• Steel has more thickness than plastic and wood. In this way, its mass will be more noteworthy and thus it will have a more noteworthy estimation of inertia, as inactivity of a body is estimated by the mass of the body. The mass of the steel is more noteworthy than the mass of the plastic.

• Here the thickness of steel is more than plastic and wood. On the off chance that an article has more thickness than the other item, their masses would be more prominent because mass is corresponding to thickness.
