Mass, Volume, and Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure mass?

Back

Grams (g) is the common unit for measuring mass.

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or milliliters (ml) are common units for measuring volume.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water (1 g/cm³) when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than water (1 g/cm³) when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 g and a volume of 5 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10 g / 5 cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume in terms of density?

Back

As mass increases, density increases if volume remains constant.

Front

What is the least dense material among metals?

Back

Aluminum is generally less dense than other common metals.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of liquids?

Back

As temperature increases, most liquids expand, leading to a decrease in density.
