Density, Mass, and Volume

Density

100

What unit is used to calculate density?

g/cm³

200

What is the amount of matter in a object?

Mass

300

What is the amount of space an object takes up?

Volume

400

If you know density and volume, what can you calculate?

Mass

500

Why does a huge ship made of metal float?

Because it displaces enough water to match its weight, lowering its overall density below 1.0 g/cm³.

Buoyancy

100

What is the term that something can float?

Positive Buoyancy 

200

What is the term for an object that sinks. 

Negative buoyancy 

300

What is the term for an object that does not float or does not sink?

Neutral Buoyancy 

400

How dense is fresh water? 

1.00 g/cm³

500

If two objects displace the same amount of water, they must have the same:

Volume  

Calc Density

100

An object has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 25 cm³. What is its density?

2 g/cm³

200

If an object has a density of 0.8 g/cm³, what will it do in water?

Float

300

What is the formula for density?

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

400

Mass = 102 g  Volume = 13 cm³

7.8 g/cm³

500

 Mass = 56 g  Volume = 11 cm³

5.1 g/cm³

Calc Volume

100

Volume is measured in these units for solids.

cm³

200

Which is larger: 1 L or 500 mL?

1 L

300

Volume = __________

10.0 cm³

400

Mass = 22 g  Density = 2.5 g/cm³
Volume = __________

8.8 cm³

500

Mass = 72.4 g  Density = 9.1 g/cm³
Volume = __________

8.0 cm³

Calc Mass

100

What is the formula used to find mass?

M= Density X Volume

200

If mass increases but volume stays the same, what happens to density?

Density Increases

300

If density = 2 g/cm³ and volume = 5 cm³, mass = ?

10 g

400

Density = 6.3 g/cm³  Volume = 4.7 cm³
Mass = __________

29.6 g

500

2.8 g/cm³  Volume = 10.2 cm³

28.6 g
