Density Flashcard

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

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/ml

Front

What units are used to measure density?

Back

g/cm³

Front

How do you convert mass from grams to kilograms?

Back

Divide the mass in grams by 1000.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

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

How does temperature affect the density of liquids?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the density of liquids decreases.

Front

What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 10 cm³?

Back

Density = 50 g / 10 cm³ = 5 g/cm³.
