Density
D = M/V
Formula for Density
L x W x H
Formula for volume of a regular object
V = V2-V1
Formula for volume of an irregular object (displacement)
Archimedes
Discovered a method to help determine the density of irregularly shaped objects.
Sink
Objects with a density greater than 1. (Closely spaced)
Float
Objects with a density less than 1. (Less closely spaced)
Mass
The amount of matter in an object. Measured in grams or milligrams.
Volume
The amount of space taken up by a quantity of matter. Measured in cubic centimeters (cm3)
Displacement
The difference between the initial volume and the volume after an object is submerged. V = V2-V1
Density
The ratio of an object's mass to its volume. Density = Mass/Volume. Often measured in g/cm3.
Balance
Tool used to measure mass
Graduate (graduated cylinder)
Tool used to measure volume
