Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

If an object has a density less than 1 g/mL, will it sink or float in water?

Back

It will float.

2 g/cm³

Front

How do you find the volume of an object if you know its mass and density?

Back

Volume = Mass / Density

Front

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

Back

The density increases.
