Lab: Density of Solids

Question 89108 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

If ball C is 3 times the volume of ball D and ball D has 1/3 the mass of ball C, which has the greater density? [___]

Answer
A
ball C
B
ball D
C
Their densities are equal.

Explanation

Density is mass divided by volume. If ball D has mass m and volume v, then ball C has mass 3m and volume 3v, so both densities are m/v. Therefore, their densities are equal.
