Density Practice

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the amount of mass in a given space.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = mass / volume

Front

What unit is used to measure mass?

Back

Grams (g) are used to measure mass.

Front

If an object has a density less than water (1 g/cm³), will it sink or float?

Back

It will float.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is 1 g/cm³.

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.

Front

If a rock has a mass of 14g and a volume of 2cm³, what is its density?

Back

7 g/cm³.

Front

Which of the following will not sink in water: gasoline (0.7 g/cm³), lead (11.3 g/cm³), mercury (13.6 g/cm³), paraffin (0.87 g/cm³)?

Back

Gasoline and paraffin will not sink in water.

Front

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

Back

The density decreases.

Front

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

Back

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.
