What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

What happens to the weight of an object if you take it to the Moon?

Back

The weight decreases because the gravitational force on the Moon is weaker than on Earth.
