Mass Volume Density

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, typically measured in liters or cubic centimeters.

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What tool do you use to measure mass?

Back

A triple beam balance is used to measure mass.

Front

What happens to the mass of an object when it is cut in half?

Back

The mass decreases; it becomes half of the original mass.

Front

If an object has a density greater than water, what will happen when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

If an object has a density less than water, what will happen when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.

Front

What is an example of an object that is less dense than water?

Back

A piece of wood or a rubber duck.
