Summary - Density

This material will sink in water. Evidence: The material has a mass of 110g and a volume of 312 cm^3. Using the density formula: Density = Mass / Volume Density = 110g / 312 cm^3 Density = 0.35 g/cm^3 Reasoning: Since the density of the material (0.35 g/cm^3) is less than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), the material will float on water according to the rule that materials with densities less than water will float.

Length

Length - the distance from end to end of an object

Tools: Meter Stick , Metric Ruler

Units: Meter (m), Centimeter (cm)


Mass vs. Weight
Mass - the amount of matter in an Weight - a measurement of the
object gravitational force acting on an
object
Matter - something that has mass
and takes up space
Measuring Mass
MASS vs. WEIGHT
-Always remains constant -Depends on gravity

-Does not depend on gravity - Weight of an object


changes if the gravity
changes
Tools: Triple Beam Balance

Units: Mass is measured in grams (g)

1 paperclip = 1 g

1000 g = 1 kilogram (kg)


Volume
● Volume: is the amount of space that matter takes up

● Volume can be in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas.

● There are three different types of volume:

1. Liquid Volume

2. Regular Volume

3. Irregular Volume
Volume of a Regular Solid Practice
Problem
● Tools: Ruler or Meter Stick Volume = L x W x H
6 cm x 4 cm x 7 cm = 168 cm3
● Units: Centimeters Cubed (cm3)

● 1 cm3 = 1 mL
Liquid Volume
● Tool: Graduated Cylinder
● Units: milliliters (mL)
liters (L)
● What is a meniscus?
A meniscus is the curved surface
of a liquid
Volume of an Irregularly Shaped Solid
● Tool: Graduated Cylinder Water Displaced Method

● Units: Milliliters (mL) 1. Put a set quantity of water into the


graduated cylinder and note the starting
Centimeters Cubed (cm3) volume

2. Place the irregularly shaped object into


the graduated cylinder

3. The water will rise - record the new


volume

4. The difference between the new and


starting volumes is the volume of the
irregular object
What is Density?
Density is the amount of matter in a given space.

Density is a physical property because it can be observed/measured without


changing the object.

Density can be used to identify substances because no two substances have


the same density.

Density does not depend on size or shape - the density of a single substance
will remain the same no matter the sample’s size or shape.
Density Formula
Density is the amount of mass in a given space (volume).

The formula for density is...

Mass

Density = ---------------

Volume

Units for density…

Solid = g/cm^3

Liquid = g/mL
Density T-Triangle
The Density T-Triangle can be used to write 3
different formulas.

Formula for density: D = m/v

m Formula for mass: m = D x v

Formula for volume: v = M/D

Sink or Float

The Density of Water is 1 g/mL


An object/material will sink in water if it has a An object/material will float on water if has a
density greater than 1 g/mL. density less than 1 g/mL.

Practice Problem:
Will a material with a mass of 110 g and a volume of 312 cm^3 float on or sink in water?
