What allows more mass to fit into the same volume in steel compared to wood?
The closer arrangement of its
atoms
How does density relate to the size and weight of objects?
It
measures
how much
stuff
is in a
space
What are the steps to calculate density using the formula?
Identify the
mass (m)
and
volume (V)
.
Divide the mass by the volume.
Ensure units are consistent (usually
k
g
/
m
3
kg / m^{3}
k
g
/
m

).
What is density defined as?
Mass
per
unit volume
What is the unit of density?
kilograms
per
cubic meter
What does density tell us about a substance?
How
tightly
packed
a
substance
is
