Question
In an old movie, an archeologist is shown sprinting off with a gold statue. If the volume of the statue was 3.78L (about the size of 1 gallon of milk), then calculate the mass of gold in pounds. Based upon your result, is what the movie suggested physically resonable? The density of gold is 19.3g/mL

- The mass of an unidentified rock is 15.5 grams. Students determine the volume of the rock by placing the rock in a cylinder with water. The students calculate the density of the rock. They determine the identity of the rock based on the density ranges in the table. The students most likely have which type of rock?

To figure out what it was, she used the ideas just developed in class about density. First she measured the mass of the metal to be 198.1 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 17.3 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal.arrow_forwardA rectangular lead apron is placed over the chest of a patient while X-rays are being taken in a dental office.

- A student weighed their penny (mass = 2.499 g) and followed the same experimental procedure you did in the lab. They found that the penny contained 0.0980 g of copper, or, 3.92%. Estimate the thickness of the copper coating with the following formula. From the US Mint website: the diameter of a penny is 19.05 mm and the thickness is 1.52 mm. The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm3.
