What is the density of an object with a mass of 5.5 grams and a volume of 7cm3?

density = mass/volume
In your example,
density(object) = 5.5/7 g/cm3 = 0.8 g/cm3.
Note that I rounded the last number to one significant decimal, as the volume (7 cm3) is specified with only one significant decimal. A volume of 7 cm3 varies between 6.5 cm3 and 7.4 cm3, and the answer conforms to a "good estimate".
If the volume had been specified as 7.0 cm3, then the answer would be different, namely
density(object) = 5.5/7.0 g/cm3 = 0.79 g/cm3,
rounded to two significant decimals, as we now have assumed more accuracy, the answer is also a "better estimate", because in the first case, the answer would actually range between 5.54/6.50 = 0.852 and 5.45/7.49 = 0.728 (which average to exactly 0.79, please check this).

What property is desinty?
Density is an intensive physical property. It is the mass per unit of volume. The formula is Density = mass/volume. So if an object has a mass of 28g and a volume of 7cm3, the density would be 28g/7cm3 = 4g/cm3.
What is the density of mass 3 g and vloume of 7cm3?
Density=mass/volume Density= 3g/7cm3 Density= 0.429 g/cm3 (3sf)
What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 42 grams and a volume of 7cm3 show your work?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume) = (42) divided by (7) = 6 grams per cm3 . Next time, it'll be a lot easier if you just have your teacher contact us directly.
What is the density of an object that has a mass of 28g and a volume of 7 ml?
120g ------ = 17.11111g/mL 7mL density = mass/volume =kg/m 3 1000ml = 1000cm3 7ml=7cm3 7ml = 0.000007m3 120g=0.12Kg density =0.12/0.000007 = 17142.86kg/m3 realisticaly though your talking about a teaspoon (7ml) of something with a mass of 120g. are you sure your question is correct because even lead wouldn't have this much mass
