Density

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What units are used to measure density?

Back

Common units for density include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

What is the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular object?

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

If an object has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 50 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 100 g / 50 cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

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

Back

The density decreases.

Front

How can you determine the density of an irregularly shaped object?

Back

You can use water displacement to find the volume of the object.

Front

What is the principle of buoyancy related to density?

Back

An object will float in a fluid if its density is less than the density of the fluid.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.
