Density and Specific Gravity Quiz

What is density primarily a comparison of?

• Weight to volume

• Volume to mass

• Mass to volume

• Volume to weight

Which unit is commonly used to express density?

• Kilograms per meter

• Liters per kilogram

• Meters per gram

• Grams per cubic centimeter

What does mass measure in terms of physical properties?

• The resistance to motion or change

• The volume of an object

• The amount of space an object occupies

• The weight of an object on Earth

How does mass differ from weight?

• Mass changes with location, weight does not

• Mass is constant regardless of location, weight changes with gravity

• Weight and mass are the same

• Weight is constant, mass changes with gravity

What is volume a measure of?

• The space occupied by an object

• The mass of an object

• The weight of an object

• The density of an object

How is volume calculated for a cube?

• Width x Height

• Length x Width

• Length x Width x Height

• Length + Width + Height

What is the formula for calculating density?

• Density = Volume / Mass

• Density = Mass x Volume

• Density = Mass / Volume

• Density = Volume x Mass

What is specific gravity a comparison of?

• Density of a substance to the density of air

• Density of a substance to the density of water

• Volume of a substance to the volume of water

• Mass of a substance to the mass of water

What happens if an object's density is less than that of water?

• It will evaporate

• It will sink

• It will float

• It will dissolve

Which of the following is true about specific gravity?

• It is the same as density

• It is measured in grams per liter

• It has no units

• It is always greater than 1
