Mass Volume and Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular object?

Back

Volume (V) = length (l) x width (w) x height (h).

Front

What is the formula to find the density of an object?

Back

Density (D) = mass (M) / volume (V).

Front

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 5 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 20 g / 5 cm³ = 4 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than water?

Back

It will float in water.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water?

Back

It will sink in water.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Mass = Density x Volume.

Front

If you know the mass and density of an object, how can you find its volume?

Back

Volume (V) = Mass (M) / Density (D).

What does 12.0 grams represent?

Back

It represents mass.

Front

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

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).
