Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing mass by volume.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, typically measured in cubic units.

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What happens to objects with lower density in water?

Back

Objects with lower density than water will float.

Front

What happens to objects with higher density in water?

Back

Objects with higher density than water will sink.

Front

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 4 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 20 grams / 4 cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is the ratio of mass to volume; as mass increases with constant volume, density increases.

Front

What is the unit of density in the metric system?

Back

The unit of density is typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).

Front

How can you find the volume of an object if you know its mass and density?

Back

Volume = Mass / Density.
