Question

A rock sample has a mass of 16 grams and a volume of 8 cubic centimeters. When the rock is cut in half what is the volume and density of each piece?

Answer 1

The density is constant; the volume is halved.

Explanation:

`rho="Mass"/"Volume"=(16*g)/(8*cm^-3)` `=` `??*g*cm^-3`

And the volume of each piece is `??*cm^3`.
