Density Flashcards
what is the formula for density
density = mass/volume
what is an experiment to determine density of a liquid
measure the mass through a balance and the volume through a measuring cylinder. next, follow the formula to obtain your result
experiment to determine the density of a regular shape
measure the volume by doing the necessary formula and calculations. measure the mass on a scale. divide the mass by the volume
experiment to determine the density of an irregular shape
fill a measuring cylinder with water. place the shape in the water so that it is covered completely. calculate how much the water increased. measure the mass and divide it by the volume
how will you determine if an object sinks of floats
if the density of the object is less than 1 (density of water), it will float. otherwise, it will sink
