1- Density

The document outlines a physics lesson focused on the concept of density, including experiments with different materials and liquids. Students are tasked with predicting which materials will float in water and seawater, investigating the density of honey, water, and kerosene, and identifying metals based on their densities. Additionally, calculations for the density and volume of a wooden block are included, along with a table for determining which liquids the block will float in.

1.Mike explain that different materials have different densities.
He says,
‘Materials that are less dense than water will float.
Water has a density of 1g/cm3.’
He finds out the densities of different materials.

(a) Predict which two materials will float. Choose from the table.

(b) Mike collects some water from the sea. He tries to float the materials from
the table in the seawater. Use the information in the table above to explain
which materials will still float in the seawater.

(i) Name the container shown in Fig.1.1 and also name the other apparatus
necessary when determining the density of the honey.
……………………………………………………………………………………
(ii) The student then carefully adds some water and then some kerosene. The
students the carefully adds some water and then some kerosene. The liquids do not
mix but form three separate layers as shown in Fig.1.2

Identify the correct statements about the densities of the liquids. Tick only two
boxes.

(iii) The mass of 13 cm3 of the kerosene is 0.5 g. Calculate the density of the
kerosene, including an appropriate unit.

3. Fig. 1.2 shows three metal blocks. Each block has the same mass.

Fig .1.2
The volumes of the blocks are different. Each box is made of a different metal.
The table gives the density of each metal.

Use the data from the table to identify the metal used to make each block.

(b) Fig.1.1 shows a block of wood.

Fig.1.1 (not to scale)


(i) Calculate the volume of the block of wood.

volume …………………..cm3
(ii) The block of wood shown in fig.1.1 has a mass of 200g. Calculate the
density of the wood.

density……………g/cm3
(c)The table shows the densities of five liquids.

Indicate the liquids on which the block of wood will float by placing ticks (√) in
the final column.
