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

What two measurements make up Density?

Back

Density is made up of Mass and Volume.

Front

How do you calculate Density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases but its volume stays the same?

Back

The density increases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases but its mass stays the same?

Back

The density decreases.

Front

Why do different liquids form layers when mixed?

Back

Different liquids form layers because they have different densities.

Front

Which is denser: oil or water?

Back

Water is denser than oil.

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).

Front

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

Back

It will float in water.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.
