Density Flashcards
What is density
The mass per unit volume
What is the equation for density
Density=mass/volume
What is density measured in
Kg/M cubed or e
How do you find the density of a liquid
Place the measuring cylinder on a balance then fill it with the liquid and measure the new mass the difference in masses is the mass of the liquid the volume can be read from the cylinder and the density using the eqaution
How do you find the density of a solid
Measure the mass of the solid by placing it on the balance if the solid is a regular shape measure its dimensions using a ruler or a measuring tool and then using mathematical formula to find the volume Solid is a regular shape and mercy in water and most of the volume of the water displaced this is the volume of a solid find the density using the equation
What is the density of water
1g/cm cubed
What is 1g/cmcubed in kg/M cubed
1000kg/M cubed
If the density of an object is greater than the density of water what will it do in water
Sink
The density of an object is equal to the density of water what will it do in water
Float
Is the density of an object is less than the density of water what will it do in water
Float upwards towards the surface
What is the force of the particle on the wall equal to
The rate of change of momentum
