What is Density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in g/cm³.

Front

How do you calculate Density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the formula for Mass?

Back

Mass = Density x Volume.

Front

What units are used to measure Density?

Back

g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter).

Front

If an object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 2cm³, what is its density?

Back

5 g/cm³.

Front

Why do some substances float on water?

Back

They are less dense than water.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/cm³.

Front

If an object has a density greater than 1 g/cm³, will it sink or float in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What happens to the density of a substance if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

Back

The density increases.
