The mass of a single penny is approximately 2.5 grams. Therefore, the mass of 20 pennies would be 20 times 2.5 grams, which equals 50 grams.
The metric unit for mass is the kilogram. For smaller masses, as in this case, you may also use grams or milligrams.
The new pennies have less mass because they are now mostly made of zinc with a thin copper coating, while the old pennies were made of bronze. The change was made to reduce production costs and to make the coins more affordable to produce.
The mass will be 11 * 2.5 = 27.5 grams.
The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm3. This can be calculated by dividing the total mass of the pennies (36.93 g) by the total volume they displace (4.13 cm3). This gives the density of copper as 8.94 g/cm3.
