Density Definition

the degree of compactness of a substance

We need MASS- the amount of MATTER in a given object

We need VOLUME- the amount of SPACE something takes up

Calculating Density

Multiple Choice

The amount of space an object takes up is its ___.

mass

volume

length

weight

Multiple Choice

The amount of matter in an object is its ___.

mass

volume

length

weight

Multiple Choice

Amy is trying to decide how many books she can fit in her backpack. Is this mass or volume?

mass

volume

Multiple Choice

Eben is trying to decide whether he is strong enough to pick up the box of toys. Is this mass or volume?

mass

volume

Multiple Choice

Michael had to make sure the box of parts wasn't too heavy to set on the chair. Is this mass or volume?

mass

volume

Multiple Choice

Bram is looking for a new bed for his room. If he is trying to decide if it will fit, is this mass or volume?

mass

volume

How do I calculate mass?

Pretty easy, you weight it on a scale

There are only 2 units we use for mass....
g(grams) and kG (kilograms)

You find the "displacement" Put the object in a cylinder, and measure the before and after units, and the difference in the volume. in mL

An irregular object

You measure Length x Width x Height measured in cm^3

A cube or normal object

How do I calculate volume?

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of this prism?

24 cubic cm

240 cubic cm

60 cubic cm

Multiple Choice

Find the volume

1120 ft²

2011 ft²

120 ft³

1120 ft³

Multiple Choice

Let's practice! Before reads 50 mL. After we drop in the object, the new water level goes up to 60 mL. What is the volume of the blocks? (Hint: new volume- old volume)

8 mL

10 mL

60 mL

5 mL

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of the two red spheres? (Hint: new volume - old volume)

4 mL

6 mL

2 mL

8 mL

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of the ring? (new volume - old volume)

64 mL

68 mL

8 mL

4 mL

Ok, got it. So, how do I calculate density?

D=M/V or...M= DxV or...V= M/V

Remember, units for
volume cm^3 OR mL
Mass g or kG
Density g/cm^3 or mL/g.......

Multiple Choice

What is the density of a liquid that has a mass of 27g and a volume of 30mL?

0.9 g/mL

3 g/mL

57 g/mL

810 g/mL

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for density?

density = mass x volume

density = mass / volume

density = mass + volume

density = mass - volume

Multiple Choice

39 g/cm³

Multiple Choice

What is the mass of a 25 cm³ liquid if it has a density of 5 g/cm³?

125 g

5 g

$\frac{5g}{cm^3}$

$0.2\ cm^3$

Multiple Choice

Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 14g and a volume of 2cm³. What is the density of the rock?

7 mL

7 g/cm³

28 g/cm³

1/7 g/cm³

Keys to remember

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL

If anything is higher than 1.00 g/mL, it will SINK
If anything is lower than 1.00 g/mL, it will float.
If it is "equal" to 1.00 g/ml, it will float/"flink"

Multiple Choice

Put the liquids in order from most dense to least dense?

4, 3, 2, 1

1, 2, 3, 4

3, 4, 2, 1,

4, 3, 1, 2

Multiple Choice

Which liquid is the least dense?
