Question

4 a wooden log has a density of 0.6 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$. tim cuts the log in half. what is the density of each half of the log? a 0.06 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ b 0.3 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ c 0.6 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density property

Density is an intensive property. It does not depend on the amount of the substance.

Step2: Analyze the situation

When the wooden log is cut in half, mass and volume both change proportionally. But the ratio of mass to volume (density) remains the same.

Answer:

C. $0.6\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$
