Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. It tells us how much matter is packed into a certain space.

Why do ice cubes float in water?

Back

Ice cubes float because they are less dense than water.

Front

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

Back

An object with a density greater than water will sink.

Front

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

Back

An object with a density less than water will float.

Front

How does mass affect density?

Back

Density increases if mass increases while volume stays the same.

Front

How does volume affect density?

Back

Density decreases if volume increases while mass stays the same.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid, which is determined by the object's density compared to the fluid's density.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the density of liquids?

Back

As temperature increases, the density of most liquids decreases.
