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 are the two measurements that make up Density?

Back

Mass and Volume.

Front

How do you calculate Density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

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

Back

It will float.

Front

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

Back

It will sink.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for Density in liquids?

Back

g/mL (grams per milliliter).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for Density in solids?

Back

g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter).

Front

If an object has a mass of 30 g and a volume of 10 mL, what is its density?

Back

3 g/mL.

Front

What is the principle of displacement?

Back

When an object is submerged in a fluid, it pushes aside a volume of fluid equal to the volume of the object.

Front

How do you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?

Back

By measuring the amount of water it displaces in a graduated cylinder.
