Density

Front

What is density?

Back

The amount of matter in a given space.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the unit of density in the metric system?

Back

grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How does temperature affect density?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, density decreases for liquids and gases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume in density?

Back

Density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume.

Front

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

Back

It will float on water.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water?

Back

It will sink in water.

Front

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

Back

Density = 50 g / 10 cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

Front

What is the density of pure water at 4°C?

Back

1 g/cm³.

Front

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

Back

Compare its density to the density of water (1 g/cm³).
