Mass, Volume, and Density Flashcard

Front

What is the definition of volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, typically measured in cubic units such as cm³ or mL.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = mass/volume.

Front

What units are commonly used to measure mass?

Back

Mass is commonly measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

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.

Front

How do you find the density of an object?

Back

To find density, divide the mass of the object by its volume.

Front

What tools are needed to measure mass?

Back

A balance or scale is used to measure mass.

Front

What tools are needed to measure volume?

Back

A graduated cylinder or measuring cup is used to measure volume.

Front

If an object has a mass of 40 g and a volume of 2 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 40 g / 2 cm³ = 20 g/cm³.

Front

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm?

Back

Volume = side³ = 3 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm = 27 cm³.
