Density

What is density?

Back

Density is a property of matter that is determined by dividing its mass by its volume. It is usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density (D) is calculated using the formula: D = mass (m) / volume (v).

If an object has a mass of 12g and a volume of 4cm³, what is its density?

Back

3 g/cm³

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density?

Back

The unit of measurement for density is typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains the same?

Back

If the mass of an object increases while its volume remains the same, its density increases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases while its mass remains the same?

Back

If the volume of an object increases while its mass remains the same, its density decreases.

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.

If an object has a density less than 1 g/cm³, will it float or sink in water?

Back

An object with a density less than 1 g/cm³ will float in water.

If an object has a density greater than 1 g/cm³, will it float or sink in water?

Back

An object with a density greater than 1 g/cm³ will sink in water.
