Density Flashcards
What is the formula for calculating density?
Density = Mass / Volume
True or False: Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
True
Fill in the blank: The unit of density in the SI system is _______.
kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
If an object has a mass of 200 grams and a volume of 50 cm³, what is its density?
4 g/cm³
Which of the following materials is likely to have the highest density? A) Wood B) Water C) Iron
C) Iron
True or False: An object will float in water if its density is greater than that of water.
False
What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated?
The density typically decreases.
What is the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius?
1 g/cm³
Multiple choice: Which of the following factors does NOT affect density? A) Temperature B) Mass C) Shape
C) Shape
Short answer: Why do gases generally have lower densities than solids?
Gases have more space between particles, resulting in lower mass per unit volume.
