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 certain space.

Front

What happens to objects with higher density in water?

Back

Objects with higher density than water will sink.

Front

What happens to objects with lower density in water?

Back

Objects with lower density than water will float.

Front

How can you determine if an object will float or sink?

Back

If the object's density is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float; if it's more, it will sink.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is an example of a substance that floats on water?

Back

A wooden block floats on water because it is less dense than water.

Front

What is an example of a substance that sinks in water?

Back

A brick sinks in water because it is more dense than water.

Front

What does it mean if a liquid is more dense than another liquid?

Back

It means that the liquid has more mass in the same volume compared to the other liquid.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid, which is determined by the object's density compared to the fluid's density.
