Mass, Volume, and Density

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of 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, commonly measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

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 is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

The unit of measurement for mass is grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

Front

If two objects have the same volume, how can you determine which is denser?

Back

The object with the greater mass is denser.

Front

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

Back

It will float.

Front

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

Back

It will sink.

Front

Calculate the volume of a block with dimensions L=2.0 cm, W=3.0 cm, H=2.0 cm.

Back

Volume = L x W x H = 2.0 cm x 3.0 cm x 2.0 cm = 12.0 cm³.
