EOG Physical Science Equations & Calculations

What is the correct formula for calculating density?

• density = mass × volume
• density = volume ÷ mass
• density = mass ÷ volume
• density = mass + volume

Answer explanation

Jupiter is a gas giant made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Unlike terrestrial planets that have solid surfaces, gas giants like Jupiter don't have a well-defined solid surface, allowing them to accumulate more mass in a gaseous form. This composition has allowed Jupiter to grow significantly larger than planets with solid surfaces.

Which of the following formulas is used to calculate force?
