A
Mass per unit volume of a material
2
Q
What is density measured in
A
g/cm3 or kg/m3
3
Q
What is the equation for mass
A
Mass = density x volume
4
Q
What is the equation of density
A
Density = mass over volume
5
Q
What is the equation of volume
A
Volume = mass over density
6
Q
How do you convert something from g/cm3 to kg/m3
A
Divide by 1000
7
Q
Define mass
A
Mass is the amount of matter an object contains
8
Q
Define volume
A
Volume tells us how much space an object takes up
9

A
A digital scale
11
Q
How do you find the volume of an irregular object
A
Place in a measuring cylinder and the difference between the original and new volume is the volume
