Which Do You Think Would Have The Greater Volume and Mass? Why?

1) The document discusses density and how it is calculated. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, or how tightly packed the molecules are in an object. 2) To calculate density, you take the mass of an object and divide it by the volume. The formula given is: Density = Mass / Volume. 3) An example calculation is shown where the mass is 35g and the volume is 7cm3. Plugging this into the density formula gives a density of 5g/cm3.

Which do you think would have the

greater volume and mass?


Why?
1 kg of feathers

1 kg of rock
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is
a measure of how tightly packed and how heavy
the molecules are in an object. Density is the
amount of matter within a certain volume.
Proof that water and ice have
different densities
To find the density
1- Find the mass of the
object


2- Find the volume of the
object

3- Divide
Density = Mass
Volume
Units for density g/cm
3
or g/ml

Formula:
M = mass V= volume D = density
M = D x V V = M / D D = M / V
1) Find the mass of the object
2) Find the volume of the object
3) Divide : Density = Mass -
Volume
To find density:
Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm
3
of
space, calculate the density.
1) Find the mass of the object
2) Find the volume of the object
3) Divide : Density = Mass -
Volume
To find density:
Set up your density problems like this:

Given: Mass = 35 grams Unknown: Density (g/
cm
3
) Volume = 7 cm
3

Formula: D = M / V Solution: D = 35g/7 cm
3

D = 5 g/cm
3
Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm
3
of
space, calculate the density.
