density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated using the formula: density = mass / volume.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

density = mass / volume

Front

Which liquid is the least dense?

Back

Oil is the least dense liquid compared to water, syrup, and a plastic bottle.

Front

If an object has a density of 0.6 g/mL, will it sink or float in water?

Back

It will float because it is less dense than water.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than 1 g/cm³ when placed in water?

Back

It will sink because it is denser than water.

What happens to an object with a density less than 1 g/cm³ when placed in water?

Back

It will float because it is less dense than water.

Front

How do you determine the density of an object?

Back

To determine density, divide the mass of the object by its volume: density = mass / volume.

Front

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

Back

The density of the rock is 7 g/cm³.

Front

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

Back

Density is the ratio of mass to volume; as mass increases with constant volume, density increases, and as volume increases with constant mass, density decreases.

Front

What units are commonly used for density?

Back

Common units for density include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and grams per milliliter (g/mL).
