Question

The volume of a ball was measured at 500. 0 cm3, and its mass was measured to be 404. 2 g. What would be the most accurate calculation of density for the ball? Round to the nearest ten thousandths. G/cm3.

Answer 1

The density of the given ball is 0.808. Density is an intrinsic property of an object.

How to calculate density?

The density of a ball can be calculated by diving its mass by its volume. It can written as,

$\rho = \dfrac mV$

Where,

$\rho$ - density

$m$ - mass =  404.2 g

$V$ - volume = 500.0 cm³

Put the values in the formula,

$\rho = \dfrac{404.2}{ 500.0}\\\\\rho = 0.8084 \rm \ g/m^3$

Therefore, the density of the given ball is 0.808.
