Answer:
brick of pure silver is divided into 4 pieces of equal size. Compared to the original brick, the density of each piece is _____.
:- the same
Explanation:
Density of the substance is the mass per unit volume of the substance.
[tex]Density =\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
Let the original mass of the brick = m
let the volume of the brick = V
[tex]Density =\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
when A brick of pure silver is divided into 4 pieces of equal size.Its mass become 1/4 time the original mass and volume also become 1/4
New mass = 1/4 m
Volume = 1/4 V
[tex]Density =\frac{m/4}{V/4}[/tex]
4 and 4 cancel each other
[tex]Density =\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
Hence, No change in density of the brick will occur if we divide into for equal pieces.
Such quantities are called Intensive properties .
Intensive property : Which does not depend on the quantity of the matter .example : Temperature , density ,specific Heat capacity.
There is no effect of change of either mass or volume on density.
