A graduated cylinder is filled to an initial volume of 20ml. A ball is dropped into the graduated cylinder. The final volume of the graduated cylinder is 29 ml. If the has a mass of 27 g. What is the density of the ball?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A graduated cylinder is basically a cylinder with little measurements on it.

If we drop the ball into the cylinder and the final volume in 29 instead of 20, this means that the ball has a volume of 9 mL as it took up 9mL of the water, pushing it up 9 mL.

Density is mass divided by volume. The ball has a mass of 27 g and a volume of 9mL. So, the density is 3 g/mL.

Have a wonderful day! :D

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
