Density Flashcards
How do you find the formula for density
Divide the volume of the substance in to the mass of it
How do you find the formula for mass
Volume x density
How do you find the formula forvolume
Mass divided by density
What us the density of water
1.0
What is the density of ice
0.9
Why does ice float on water?
Because it’s density is lower than waters
Why does brick sink in water?
Because it’s density is higher than waters
