density

Cards (12)

  • 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
