Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated as mass divided by volume.

Front

What is the formula for 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

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

To calculate density, divide the mass of the object by its volume.

Front

If an object has a mass of 20g and a volume of 4cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 20g / 4cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

Front

What tool is used to measure mass?

Back

Triple beam balance.

Front

What tool is used to measure volume?

Back

Graduated cylinder.

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

If two objects have the same volume but different masses, which one has a higher density?

Back

The object with the greater mass has a higher density.
