Jane measures a piece of metal and determines it has a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 2cm^3. What is the density of this piece of metal? (D=M/V) (Act 4)
A. 20g/cm^3
B. 10 g/cm^3
C. 5 g/cm^3
D. 0.2g/cm^3
To calculate the density of the metal, we use the formula D = M/V, where D is the density, M is the mass, and V is the volume.
In this case, the mass of the metal is 10 grams and the volume is 2 cm^3.
Thus, the density is D = 10g/2cm^3 = 5 g/cm^3.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 5 g/cm^3.
