Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. It tells us how much matter is packed into a certain space.

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What units are used to measure density?

Back

Common units for density are grams per milliliter (g/mL) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than water?

Back

An object with a density less than water will float.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water?

Back

An object with a density greater than water will sink.

Front

If a graduated cylinder shows a water level of 17 mL and rises to 20 mL after adding an object, what is the volume of the object?

Back

The volume of the object is 3 mL (20 mL - 17 mL).

Front

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 27 g and a volume of 3 mL?

Back

The density is 9 g/mL (27 g / 3 mL).

Front

Which liquid is most dense: oil, water, or syrup?

Back

Syrup is the most dense among the three.

Front

How can you tell which liquid is the most dense when they do not mix?

Back

The most dense liquid will settle at the bottom.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
