1. What pattern do you see in your graph? Explain how to tell from your graph whether an object will sink or float.
  2. On your graph, plot the data point for a mystery object with a mass of 50 g and a volume of 80 cc. Draw the line through this point and the point M = 0, V = 0, representing the mass vs. volume line for this material. (Label it “Question 19.”)
    1. Based on the pattern you observed in your graph, would you expect the object to sink or float in water? Explain.
    2. Find the object's density. Based on its density, would you expect the object to sink or float in water? Explain.
    1. Explain how to use the mass and volume data table to compare densities.
    2. Explain how to use the graph to compare densities.
  3. An object has a density of  or 4 g/cc.
    1. If its volume is 80 cc, what is its mass? Show your work.
    2. If its mass is 100 g, what is its volume? Show your work.
  4. The final product from a steel mill should not have air pockets trapped inside. You are given a piece of steel with a volume of 20 cc. Explain how you would go about determining whether the piece was solid steel or had air trapped inside.
  5. Two rocks are thought to be made of the same material. Explain how you could investigate whether this is true.
