Lesson 2: Density

Lesson 2: Density

1. The density of a material will always remain the same

   • e.g. If you cut a material with a density of 3g/cm^3, each piece will still have a density of 3g/cm^3

2. Water has a density of exactly 1 gram per cubic centimeter

   • Objects that float have a density of under that of water
   • Objects that sink have a density of over that of water
   • Objects that are suspended have a density equal to that of water

3. Equations for Density

   • Density = Mass / Volume
   • Mass = Density * Volume
   • Volume = Mass/ Density

4. Definitions

   • Density- the property of matter that relates mass to volume for any particular material
   • Mass - the quantity of matter in an object
   • Volume - the amount of space an object takes up
