DENSITY
Density This quantity uses mass and volume, and also explains why some things float in water while others sink Density = mass/volume
The phase of matter can affect density Lowest density Gas Liquid Medium density* High density* Solid * Except water
Water is less dense as a solid and most dense as a liquid @ 4o C
Styrofoam Lead Something that has a very low density would be Something with a very high density would be Lead
Is the unknown object more or less dense than the wood? than the rock? than the water? wood Unknown object Rock Density of liquid water is 1 gram/milliliter
Density Formulas D = M/V M = D x V V = M/D Remember: If you cut an object in half, its mass gets smaller AND its volume gets smaller, but ITS DENSITY STAYS THE SAME!!!!
