Calculating Density Practice Problems

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

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the formula for volume of a cube?

Back

Volume of a cube = side³.

Front

If a cube has a side length of 2 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm = 8 cm³.

Front

What is the density of an object with a mass of 64 g and a volume of 8 cm³?

Back

Density = 64 g / 8 cm³ = 8 g/cm³.

Front

What is the density of an object with a mass of 21 g and a volume of 3 cm³?

Back

Density = 21 g / 3 cm³ = 7 g/cm³.

Front

What is the density of an object with a mass of 23 g and a volume of 2 cm³?

Back

Density = 23 g / 2 cm³ = 11.5 g/cm³.

Front

If a paper clip has a mass of 9 g and a volume of 3 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 9 g / 3 cm³ = 3 g/cm³.

Front

What is the density of an object with a mass of 16 g and a volume of 4 cm³?

Back

Density = 16 g / 4 cm³ = 4 g/cm³.

Front

What units are used to express density?

Back

Density is typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
