Density Quiz

What would you need to know to calculate the density of an object?

• Its mass and volume

• Its mass and weight

• Its length and height

• Its width and color

What can you infer about the density of objects in different shapes?

• Shape doesn’t affect density.

• Different shapes have different densities.

• Round objects are denser.

• Flat objects are less dense.

How is it possible for two spoons of the same size and shape to have different weights?

• They are made of different materials.

• One is hollow and the other is solid.

• They have different temperatures.

• One is wet and the other is dry.

Why do two spoons of the same size and shape have different weights?

• Because they are made of materials with different densities

• Because one spoon is older than the other

• Because one spoon has more electrons

• Because one spoon has more color

• It is colder.

• It is heavier.

• It is thicker.

How are mass and volume related in calculating density?

• Density is mass divided by volume.

• Volume equals density divided by mass.

• Mass is density multiplied by volume.

• Density equals mass divided by height.
