Density

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume in density?

Back

As mass increases while volume remains constant, density increases. Conversely, if volume increases while mass remains constant, density decreases.

Front

What is the formula for volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume in the metric system?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume is liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What is the least dense state of matter?

Back

Gases are generally the least dense state of matter.

Front

What is the most dense common liquid?

Back

Mercury is one of the most dense common liquids.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of liquids?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the density of liquids decreases.

Front

What is buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid, which is determined by the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid.

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than that of water?

Back

An object with a density less than that of water will float.
