Front

Volume

Back

The amount of space matter takes up.

Front

Displacement

Back

An object in water taking the place of water and raising the water level.

Front

Relative Density

Back

Whether matter sinks or floats in water.

Front

Mass

Back

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Length × Width × Height.

Front

What happens to the water level when an object is placed in it?

Back

The water level rises by the volume of the object.

Front

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

Back

By comparing its density to the density of water.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.
