DENSITY DENSITY 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 to calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What are the units of density?

Back

Common units of density include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

To calculate density, divide the mass of the object by its volume.

Front

If an object has a mass of 50g and a volume of 10cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 50g / 10cm³ = 5g/cm³.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

Back

The density of the object increases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases while its mass remains constant?

Back

The density of the object decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

An object will float in a fluid if its density is less than the density of the fluid.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1g/cm³ at 4°C.

Front

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

Back

If the object's density is greater than 1g/cm³, it will sink; if it is less, it will float.
