MIDTERM-TEST SEMESTER 1

1. An object with a mass of 300 g has a volume of 400 cm 3. Determine the density of the object, express
the answer in kg/m3!
2. A cube made of an unknown material has a height of 9 cm. The mass of this cube is 3,645 grams.
Calculate the density of this cube given this information. Hint: a cube has 6 equal sides.
3. A block has a length, width and height of 20 cm, 5 cm and 6 cm respectively. Determine the mass of the
block if it is known that the density of the block is 0.8 g/cm3!
4. Experiment to estimate the density of an object using a shower glass filled
with water. If the mass of the object is known to be 300 grams, determine
the density of the object!

5. Given a large beaker of water at room temperature (20C), draw the approximate position of the
following objects when placed in that beaker of water and explain why you placed them as you did. (In
each case draw a beaker of water and the object’s approximate position you are placing in it – you
should have 5 drawings).
a. Styrofoam (D = 0.05 g/cm3) d. Balsa wood (D = 0.16 g/cm3)
b. Ice (D = 0.92 g/cm3) e. Gold (D = 19.32 g/cm3)
c. Bone (D = 1.70 g/cm3)

6. A graduated cylinder has 20 ml (cm3) of water placed in it. An irregularly shaped rock is then dropped in
the graduated cylinder and the volume of the rock and water in the cylinder now reads 30 ml (cm 3). The
mass of the rock dropped into the graduated cylinder is 23 grams.
a. Find the volume of the rock dropped into the graduated cylinder.
b. Find the density of the rock dropped into the graduated cylinder.
7. A student performs an experiment with three unknown fluids and obtains the following measurements:
Fluid A: Mass = 2060 g, Volume = 2000ml
Fluid B: Mass = 672 g, Volume = 850 ml
Fluid C: Mass = 990g, Volume = 1100ml
Draw how the fluids would be layered if they were combined in a beaker.

8. Cube A has a mass of 36 kg and block B has a mass of 12 kg


with the dimensions of each shown in the following image.
If the cube and cuboid are made of the same material,
determine the height of cuboid B!

Challenge!
In astronomy, the distance between stars is measured in light years, which is the distance travelled by light
in a year.
One light year = 3 × 105 × 60 × 60 × 24 × 365 km.
This is approximately 9 460 800 000 000 km.
How long would it take for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth if their distance apart is 1.5 × 108 km?
