Density Practice

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

What is the formula to calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

What unit is used to measure mass?

Back

Grams (g) is the unit used to measure mass.

Front

What unit is used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L) are common units used to measure volume.

Front

If an object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 2cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10g / 2cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

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.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

An object will float in a fluid if its density is less than the density of the fluid.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.
