Density Column Practice

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

Which substance has a higher density: water or oil?

Back

Water has a higher density than oil.

Front

What happens to objects with lower density than water when placed in it?

Back

Objects with lower density than water will float.

Front

What happens to objects with higher density than water when placed in it?

Back

Objects with higher density than water will sink.

Front

In a density column, where do the least dense substances go?

Back

The least dense substances float on top.

Front

What is an example of a substance with high density?

Back

Grape is an example of a substance with high density.

Front

What is an example of a substance with low density?

Back

Cork is an example of a substance with low density.

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 its density compared to the fluid's density.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.
