mass density volume Flashcard

Front

What is the formula to calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

If an object has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 50 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 2 g/cm³

Front

What is the unit of density in the metric system?

Back

g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter) or kg/m³ (kilograms per cubic meter)

Front

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Front

What is the mass of a substance with a density of 1 g/cm³ and a volume of 10 cm³?

Back

Mass = Density × Volume = 1 g/cm³ × 10 cm³ = 10 g

Front

If a gold brick has dimensions of 2 cm by 3 cm by 4 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 2 cm × 3 cm × 4 cm = 24 cm³

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

Back

The density increases.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/cm³ at 4°C

Front

If an object has a density of 5 g/cm³ and a volume of 2 cm³, what is its mass?

Back

Mass = Density × Volume = 5 g/cm³ × 2 cm³ = 10 g

Front

What two factors do you need to calculate density?

Back

Mass and Volume
