Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

What units are commonly used to measure density?

Back

The common unit for density is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

To calculate density, divide the mass of the object by its volume: Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

If an object has a mass of 50g and a volume of 10cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 50g / 10cm³ = 5g/cm³.

Front

Which liquid is less dense: oil or water?

Back

Oil is less dense than water.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the density of a paper clip with a mass of 9g and a volume of 3cm³?

Back

Density = 9g / 3cm³ = 3g/cm³.

Front

What is the density of copper if its mass is 216g and its volume is 24cm³?

Back

Density = 216g / 24cm³ = 9g/cm³.

Front

If two objects have the same volume but different masses, which one is denser?

Back

The object with the greater mass is denser.
