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 are the two types of measurements that make up Density?

Back

Mass and Volume.

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

If an object has a density greater than 1 g/mL, will it sink or float in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

If an object has a density less than 1 g/mL, will it sink or float in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

What is the volume of an object if its mass is 30 g and its density is 6 g/mL?

Back

Volume = Mass / Density = 30 g / 6 g/mL = 5 mL.

Front

What is the density of an object with a mass of 50 g and a volume of 10 mL?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume = 50 g / 10 mL = 5 g/mL.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if you increase its volume while keeping its mass constant?

Back

The density decreases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if you increase its mass while keeping its volume constant?

Back

The density increases.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/mL.
