Density

Front

What is the amount of space an object takes up?

Back

Volume

Front

What is the formula to calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

If an object has a density greater than water, will it sink or float?

Back

It will sink.

Front

If an object has a density less than water, will it sink or float?

Back

It will float.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/mL

Front

What happens to an object with a density of 3.6 g/mL when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What happens to an object with a density of 0.6 g/mL when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

Objects less dense than the fluid will float; those more dense will sink.

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, often measured in newtons.
