Density

Front

What is Density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate Density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What units are used to measure Density?

Back

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

Front

If an object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 5cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10g / 5cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Higher density means more mass in the same volume.

Front

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

Back

The density increases.

Front

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

Back

The density decreases.

Front

What is the volume of an object that displaces 25 mL of water?

Back

The volume of the object is 25 mL.

Front

If an object has a density of 1 g/cm³, will it float or sink in water?

Back

It will neither float nor sink; it will be suspended in water.

Front

What is the volume of an object with a density of 2 g/cm³ and a mass of 10g?

Back

Volume = Mass / Density = 10g / 2 g/cm³ = 5 cm³.
