it is easier to see that when the volume of an object is so and so, it is this mass. because an object with more mass could have less volume than an object with larger volume.

What type of data must be plotted on a graph for the slope of the line to represent density?

Density is defined as mass/volume, and since slope is rise/run, with the rise being the y-axis and the run the x-axis, mass should be the y-axis and volume the x-axis. For example, you would put grams on the y-axis and ml on the x-axis.


How do you graph mass vs volume?

Mass vs Volume graphs have a positive slope and and y intercept of approximately zero


A 4.2kg mass is placed at 3.04.0m Where can an 8.4kg mass be placed so that the moment of inertia about the z-axis is zero?

Nowhere.


When can the slope of a graph represent density-?

When the vertical axis represents "number of things" and the horizontal represents "volume of the thing"---slope is change in vertical over change in horizontal, so units of the slope would be "number/volume", which is density.
