To calculate the
density
, divide the
mass
by the
volume.
The formula for calculating
density
is
D
=
m
/
V
Density is measured as
grams
per
cubic centimeter
(
g
/
cm3
).
If an object has a
higher density
than
water
, it will
sink
; if its
lower
, it will
float.
volume
means the amount of
space
that a
substance
occupies in a
container
or in a
container's
space
mass
means how much
matter
is
contained
in something
to get
mass
you have to times
density
by
volume
the
density
of
water
is
1g
/
cm3
the
less
particles it has the
less mass
it has
the more
particle
it has the more
mass
it has
to find
mass
you times
density
by
volume
to find
volume
you divide
mass
by
density
