The formula to calculate density is
density
=
mass
/ volume
Density is the
mass
per unit
volume.
Different materials have different
densities
, with some being
more
dense than others.
Materials
can be classified as solids, liquids or
gases
based on their physical properties.
Solids are rigid and maintain their
shape
when subjected to forces.
Mass is measured in
kilograms
(kg).
Volume is measured in
cubic metres
(m3) or litres (L).
Materials
that are less dense float on top of
denser
liquids or solids.
Gases do not have any fixed
shape
or
volume
and fill up whatever space they occupy.
Volume is measured in cubic
meters
(m^3) or liters (
L
).
Gases
do not have any fixed shape or
volume
and fill whatever space they occupy.
Water expands when it freezes due to its
unique crystal
structure.
Liquids
take the
shape
of their container but retain their own volume.
Liquid water has a
higher
density at
lower
temperatures compared to warmer temperatures.
To find the density, divide the
mass
by the
volume.
To convert between units of measurement, use
conversion
factors such as 1 kg/dm^3 =
1000
kg/m^3.
The three states of matter (solid, liquid,
gas
) differ in terms of
particle arrangement
and energy levels.
Water has a density of approximately
1000
kg/m^3 at room temperature.
The density of an object depends on its composition and
structure.
Different substances have different
densities
, with some being
less
dense than others.
Density
can be calculated using the formula: density =
mass
/ volume.
Objects made from the same material will have similar
densities
regardless of their
size
or shape.
Objects
with
higher
densities than water will sink, while objects with lower densities than water will float.
The density of water at room temperature is approximately
1000
kg/m^3, making it more than
eight
times denser than air.
The density of water at room temperature is approximately
1000
kg/m^3.
The
density of liquids can be determined by measuring mass and volume using a graduated
cylinder.
Objects with
higher
density have more particles packed into the same amount of
space
compared to objects with lower density.
Some examples of
high-density
substances include
metals
like gold, lead, iron, and steel.
To calculate the density of an object, divide its
mass
by its
volume.
Solids are rigid materials that maintain their
shape
and
size
even under pressure.
Solids have a definite
shape
and
volume
, while liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume.
The SI unit for density is
kilogram per cubic meter
(
kg
/m^3).
Solids
have a definite shape and
volume.
Different substances can be
separated
based on their
densities
using techniques like filtration, distillation, and centrifugation.
Different
substances have different
densities
based on their atomic structure and inter-particle forces.
Liquids have particles close together with random movements and
no
fixed position.
The SI unit for density is
kilogram
per
meter
cube (kg/m^3).
Solids
have particles arranged closely together with fixed positions and low
kinetic
energies.
Solids are
rigid
and maintain a
fixed
shape due to strong bonds between particles.
Gas molecules
move around randomly and occupy large volumes compared to solids or
liquids.
