What is the mass of a dragster body with a volume of 140 cm3 if it is made of balsa wood?

Sagot :

Answer:

The mass of the dragster body is 35 grams

Explanation:

The given volume of the dragster body, V = 140 cm³

The density of balsa wood = 250 kg/m³

We convert the units of the volume of the dragster body from cm³ to m³ as follows

1 cm = 0.01 m

∴ 1 cm³ = 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 0.01 m × 0.01 m × 0.01 m = 0.000001 m³

140 cm³ = 140 × 1 cm³ = 140 × 0.000001 m³ = 0.00014 m³

The volume of the dragster body, V = 140 cm³ = 0.00014 m³

Density, ρ = Mass, m/(Volume, V)

∴ Mass, m = ρ × V = 250 kg/m³ × 0.00014 m³ = 0.035 kg  = 35 g

The mass of the dragster body, m = 35 grams
