Question

a mysterious metal object has a mass of 675 grams and a volume of 90 cubic centimeters. based on its density, what material is the object most likely made of? use the given table for reference. use the drop - down arrow to choose the correct answer to complete the sentences. the density of the object is g/cm³. the object is most likely made of

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the density

The formula for density is \(
ho=\frac{m}{V} \), where \( m = 675\space g \) (mass) and \( V=90\space cm^{3} \) (volume).

$$ ho=\frac{675}{90} $$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$$ \frac{675\div45}{90\div45}=\frac{15}{2} = 7.5 $$

Since \(7.5\space g/cm^{3}\) is closest to \(7.8\space g/cm^{3}\) (the density of steel in the table)

Answer:

The density of the object is \(7.5\space g/cm^{3}\). The object is most likely made of steel.
