Physics Density

Question 1

What is the aim?

Answer 1

To use appropriate apparatus to make and record the measurements needed to determine the densities of regular and irregular solid objects and liquids

Question 2

What is density

Answer 2

A fundamental physical property that describes the mass of a substance per unit volume snd is commonly expressed in kg per cubic meter

Question 3

What will you do in this practical

Answer 3

Investigate the densities of both regular and irregular objects. The process involves measuring the mass and volume of each sample and then calculating the density

Question 4

Independent variable

Answer 4

Material being measured

Question 5

Dependent variable

Answer 5

Density of material

Question 6

Control variable

Answer 6

Temperature

Question 7

Equation for density

Answer 7

Density (g) = mass/volume

Question 8

Why is the mass of the irregular object measured before placing it in the eureka can?

Answer 8

When the object is placed in the water, it will get wet and influence the mass reading
