Phet Density Lab Flashcard

Front

What is the condition for an object to float in a fluid?

Back

An object will float if it has a density less than that of the fluid it is placed in.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.

Front

If two objects have the same mass, do they necessarily have the same density?

Back

No, two objects can have the same mass but different volumes, resulting in different densities.

Front

What material is Mystery Cube A made of?

What material is Mystery Cube D made of?

Back

Water.

Front

Which material is the least dense among common materials: wood, water, or diamond?

Back

Wood is the least dense among these materials.

Front

How does density affect buoyancy?

Back

An object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid's density and will float if its density is less.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density is calculated using the formula: Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What happens to the buoyancy of an object as its density increases?

Back

As the density of an object increases, its buoyancy decreases, making it more likely to sink.

Front

Can an object with a density greater than 1 g/cm³ float in water?

Back

No, an object with a density greater than 1 g/cm³ will sink in water.
