Interpretation:
The slope of the graph by plotting volume and mass needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Density of a sample of matter or an object is equal to the mass of the sample divided by the volume of the sample.
Answer to Problem 58SSC
The graph from the data give is as:
The slope of the graph is
Explanation of Solution
Data recorded in the table as:
Density Data | |
Volume (cm3) | Mass (g) |
7.5 | 24.1 |
12 | 38.5 |
15 | 48.0 |
22 | 70.1 |
From the data given, the graph will be:
Now, for the determination of the slope, divide the difference of the two points on y-axis by the difference of the two points on x-axis. The two values on the x-axis to be used are
Hence, the slope of the graph will be
The graph from the data give is as:
The slope of the graph is
