Density

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter, or 'stuff', in an object or substance.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, often expressed in g/cm³ or g/mL.

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

If an object has a mass of 12g and a volume of 4cm³, what is its density?

Back

3 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water when placed in it?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than water when placed in it?

Back

It will float.

Front

Which is denser: oil or water?

Back

Water is denser than oil.

Front

What is the least dense liquid among oil, water, and syrup?

Back

Oil is the least dense.

Front

Why do objects sink or float in water?

Back

Because their densities are higher or lower than compared to water.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density?

Back

Common units for density include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and grams per milliliter (g/mL).
