Measuring Matter- volume and density

Front

What two properties do you need to find density?

Back

Mass and volume.

Front

Volume is measured using a ruler in:

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm^3).

Front

Why do some substances float on water?

Back

They are less dense than water.

Front

What is the amount of material (matter) in an object called?

Back

Mass.

Front

The formula for finding density is:

Back

The mass divided by the volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

Grams (g).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

Milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm^3).

Front

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

Back

The density increases.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

Objects with a density less than that of the fluid will float.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular object?

Back

Length × Width × Height.
