Mass, Volume, Density

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the Water Displacement Method used for?

Back

The Water Displacement Method is used to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects by observing the change in water level when the object is submerged.

Front

What is an example of an irregularly shaped solid?

Back

A rock is an example of an irregularly shaped solid.

Front

If an object has a mass of 20g and a volume of 4cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 20g / 4cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

Front

True or False: The steps of the Water Displacement Method include recording the initial water volume before adding the object.

Back

True.

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
