Density

Question 1

What is Density?

Answer 1

Describes how much mass is packed into the space (volume) of an object. It tells you how dense or compact the object is. The more mass in a smaller space, the denser it is.

AKA - how much “stuff” is packed into the shape of an object.

Question 2

What are the Density Formulas?

Answer 2

Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Mass = Density x Volume
Volume = Mass ÷ Density

Question 3

In what units is Density measured?

Answer 3

Density is usually measured in
g/mL (grams / milliliter) or g/cm3 (grams/cubic centimeter)

Grams is a unit of mass
mL is a unit of volume
cm3 is a unit of volume as well

AKA… mass/volume
