Understanding Density
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It's calculated using the following formula:
* Density (ρ) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
Calculations
1. Convert Units: While the volume is already in cubic centimeters (cm³), it's best to convert the mass to grams (g) since density is usually expressed in g/cm³.
2. Plug in Values:
* Mass (m) = 25 g
* Volume (V) = 15 cm³
3. Calculate Density:
* ρ = 25 g / 15 cm³
* ρ ≈ 1.67 g/cm³
Answer: The density of the object is approximately 1.67 g/cm³.
