Mass, Volume and Density without numbers

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, usually measured in liters or cubic centimeters.

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How does density affect whether an object floats or sinks?

Back

An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid it is in; it will sink if its density is greater.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume in determining density?

Back

Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume (Density = Mass/Volume).

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

Back

If mass increases and volume remains constant, the density of the object increases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases while its mass remains constant?

Back

If volume increases and mass remains constant, the density of the object decreases.

Front

Can two objects have the same volume but different masses?

Back

Yes, two objects can have the same volume but different masses, resulting in different densities.

Front

What is an example of two objects that might have the same density?

Back

Two objects made of the same material, like a wooden block and a wooden sphere, may have the same density.

Front

How can you determine if two objects are made of the same material?

Back

If two objects have the same density, they are likely made of the same material.
