Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

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

Back

It will float in water.

Front

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

Back

It will sink in water.

Front

What is the formula for volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

If a brick has a mass of 3 kg and a volume of 1.5 L, what is its density?

Back

Density = 3 kg / 1.5 L = 2 kg/L.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density?

Back

Common units include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

What is water's density at 4°C?

Back

Water has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³ at 4°C.

Front

What is the principle of buoyancy?

Back

An object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

Front

How do you find the volume of an irregular object using water displacement?

Back

Submerge the object in water and measure the volume of water displaced.
