Density, Mass, and Volume Flashcard

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

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, usually measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length x width x height.

Front

If an object has a mass of 50 grams and a volume of 25 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 50 g / 25 cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to density if mass increases but volume remains constant?

Back

Density increases.

Front

What happens to density if volume increases but mass remains constant?

Back

Density decreases.

Front

How is mass related to volume for a given density?

Back

Mass = Density x Volume.

Front

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

Back

Milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³).
