A metal object has a density of 2 g/ml. When placed in a graduated cylinder with 500 ml of water, the water rises to 508 ml. What is the mass of the metal object?

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

From the question

density = 2 g/ml

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 508 - 500 = 8 mL

We have

mass = 2 × 8

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied
