density

Question 1

what does density of a substance mean

Answer 1

its defined as mass per unit volume

Question 2

equation for density

Answer 2

P= m/v
Density= Mass/Volume

Question 3

units for density

Answer 3

kg/m³ + g/cm³

Question 4

How to calculate density of A regular object

Answer 4

To calculate the density you need to calculate the mass and volume of the object. To measure mass, place the object on a top pan balance and read of the mass. The volume of a regular shape can be done by direct measurement. Measure the width length and height of the Metal cube using a ruler and multiply all of it together in grams or centimetre cubed. As density = mass/ volume , divide the findings for the mass by volume to get the density in g/cm cubed or kg/meter cubed.

Question 5

Calculate the density of an irregular object

Answer 5

Density is calculated as Mass/Volume So to find the mass , measure it on a Mass balance to get the readings in kg or g. To find the volume immerse the object in a Eureka can and the water that is displaced into the measuring cylinder is the volume . Now divide the readings for the mass by the volume to get the density
