QuestionFind the mass of a long, . wide, and . thick aluminum foil. Density is . Round to two significant figures.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The length of the aluminum foil is
. The width of the aluminum foil is
3. The thickness of the aluminum foil is
4. The density of aluminum is
5. We need to find the mass of the aluminum foil in grams
STEP 2
First, we need to convert all the measurements to the same unit. In this case, we'll convert everything to centimeters (cm) because the density is given in .The conversion factors are1 yard =91.44 cm1 inch =2.54 cm
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the length, width, and thickness to calculate these in centimeters.
STEP 4
Calculate the length, width, and thickness in centimeters.
STEP 5
Now that we have the dimensions in the same unit, we can find the volume of the aluminum foil by multiplying the length, width, and thickness.
STEP 6
Plug in the values for the length, width, and thickness to calculate the volume.
STEP 7
Calculate the volume of the aluminum foil.
STEP 8
Now that we have the volume, we can find the mass of the aluminum foil by multiplying the volume by the density of aluminum.
STEP 9
Plug in the values for the volume and the density to calculate the mass.
STEP 10
Calculate the mass of the aluminum foil.
The mass of the aluminum foil is591 grams.
