Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. It tells us how much matter is packed into a given space.

Front

How do you determine if an object will float or sink in water?

Back

An object will float if its density is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³) and will sink if its density is greater.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if you increase its volume while keeping its mass the same?

Back

The density decreases because density is inversely proportional to volume.

Front

Which is denser: a brick or a wooden block of the same size?

Back

The brick is denser than the wooden block, which is why it sinks in water.

Front

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

Back

Oil is the least dense liquid among the three.

Front

If you have three liquids that do not mix, how can you tell which one is the most dense?

Back

The most dense liquid will be at the bottom of the container.

Front

What does it mean if an object floats in water?

Back

It means that the object's density is less than the density of water.

Front

What is an example of a material that is less dense than water?

Back

A Ping Pong ball is less dense than water, which is why it floats.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and density?

Back

If mass increases while volume remains constant, density increases.
