Density Practice Flashcard Wms

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

What units are used to measure mass?

Back

The units used to measure mass are grams (g).

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

If an object has a density greater than water, what will it do when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

If an object has a density less than water, what will it do when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/mL.

Front

What does it mean for an object to displace water?

Back

Displacement occurs when an object is submerged in water, causing the water level to rise by an amount equal to the volume of the object.

Front

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

Back

You can measure the volume by submerging it in water and measuring the amount of water displaced.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is a ratio that describes how much mass is contained in a given volume.

Front

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

Back

The density increases.
