Density Comparison

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How does density affect whether an object floats or sinks in water?

Back

An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water (1 g/cm³) and sink if its density is greater.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.

Front

Which has a higher density: a ping pong ball or a bolt?

Back

A bolt has a higher density than a ping pong ball.

Front

What happens to objects with a density less than 1 g/cm³ in water?

Back

They float.

Front

What happens to objects with a density greater than 1 g/cm³ in water?

Back

They sink.

Front

List three factors that can affect the density of a substance.

Back

Temperature, pressure, and composition.

Front

What is the least dense liquid among oil, water, and syrup?

Back

Oil is the least dense liquid.

Front

How can you determine the order of density among multiple liquids?

Back

By comparing their densities, you can rank them from most dense to least dense.
