Density

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 happens to objects with a density less than water?

Back

Objects with a density less than water (1 g/cm³) will float.

Front

What happens to objects with a density greater than water?

Back

Objects with a density greater than water (1 g/cm³) will sink.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

The unit of measurement for mass is grams (g).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume can be milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density?

Back

The unit of measurement for density is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What tool is commonly used to measure volume?

Back

A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure volume.

Front

If an object has a density of 0.5 g/cm³, will it float or sink in water?

Back

It will float because its density is less than that of water.

Front

If an object has a density of 2.5 g/cm³, will it float or sink in water?

Back

It will sink because its density is greater than that of water.
