Carry out the following calculation. Express your answer in the correct number of significant figures.

A solid rectangular block has a density of 2.6 g/cm3. The block measures 1.8 cm by 4.0 cm by 2.3 cm. What is the mass, in g, of the block?

43.1 g

Explanation:

Density, d is defined as the mass per unit volume of an object. Density is therefore expressed as

d=m/v

Here, m is mass and v is the volume

Making mass the subject of the formula

Mass, m=dv

The volume, v is given by

V=lwh

Substituting lwh for v in the equation for mass then mass, m=dlwh

Substituting 2.6 g/cm3 for d, 4.0 cm for l, 1.8 m for w and 2.3 for h then the mass of the block will be

M=2.6*4*1.8*2.3=43.056 g

Expressing it in 1 decimal place, mass is approximately 43.1 g

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
