How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

What unit is density commonly measured in?

Back

Density is commonly measured in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases but its volume stays the same?

Back

The density increases.

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases but its mass stays the same?

Back

The density decreases.

What is buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid. It is related to the density of the object and the fluid.

Front

What is the principle of displacement?

Back

The principle of displacement states that when an object is submerged in a fluid, it displaces a volume of fluid equal to the volume of the object.
