Mass, Volume, and Density

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the formula for mass?

Back

Mass = Density × Volume.

Front

What is the formula for volume?

Back

Volume = Mass / Density.

Front

What is the metric unit for measuring mass?

Back

The metric unit for measuring mass is grams (g).

Front

What is the metric unit for measuring volume of solids?

Back

The metric unit for measuring the volume of solid objects is cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

If an object has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 50 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 100 g / 50 cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if it is cut in half?

Back

The density remains the same regardless of the size of the object.

Front

What is the approximate density of water?

Back

The approximate density of water is 1 g/cm³.

Front

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

Back

It will float in water.
