Density, Mass, Volume

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

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, usually measured in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than water?

Back

An object with a density less than water will float.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water?

Back

An object with a density greater than water will sink.

Front

How do you measure the volume of an irregular object?

Back

You can measure the volume of an irregular object by using the water displacement method.

Front

What is the water displacement method?

Back

The water displacement method involves submerging an object in water and measuring the volume of water displaced.

Front

If an object has a mass of 200g and a volume of 50cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 200g / 50cm³ = 4g/cm³.

Front

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

Back

Mass and volume are directly related to density; as mass increases, density increases if volume remains constant.
