Front

Define density in terms of mass and volume.

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume (Density = Mass/Volume).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density in the metric system?

Back

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

Front

How does temperature affect the density of most substances?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, density decreases because substances expand.
