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/cm3 or g/ml Formula: M = mass V= volume D = density M = D x V V = M / D D = M / V Find the mass of the object Find the volume of the object Divide : Density = Mass - Volume To find density: Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm3 of space, calculate the density. Find the mass of the object Find the volume of the object Divide : Density = Mass - Volume To find density: Set up your density problems like this: Given: Mass = 35 grams Unknown: Density (g/ cm3) Volume = 7 cm3 Formula: D = M / V Solution: D = 35g/7 cm3 D = 5 g/cm3 Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm3 of space, calculate the density. * Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume. * Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume.
