Density, Mass and Volume

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

If two objects have the same mass but different volumes, how does their density compare?

Back

The object with the smaller volume is more dense.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density in the metric system?

Back

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

Front

How does cutting an object into smaller pieces affect its density?

Back

Cutting an object into smaller pieces does not change its density; density remains the same.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is 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, typically measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

Front

If an object has a density of 5 g/cm³, what does this indicate about its mass and volume?

Back

It indicates that for every cubic centimeter of the object, it has a mass of 5 grams.

Front

What happens to the density of a substance if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

Back

The density increases.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

An object will float in a fluid if its density is less than the density of the fluid.

Front

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

Back

If the object's density is greater than 1 g/cm³, it will sink; if it is less, it will float.
