  • What is density?

    Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume.

  • Formula for density

    Density is calculated using \(\rho = \frac{m}{V}\), where \(\rho\) is density, m is mass, and V is volume.

  • Units of density

    Common units of density are kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) and grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

  • How does density relate to mass and volume?

    Density increases if mass increases for the same volume, or if volume decreases for the same mass.

  • What does a high density indicate about a material?

    A high density means the material has a large mass packed into a small volume.

  • How to find mass using density and volume?

    Mass can be found by \(m = \rho \times V\).

  • How to find volume using mass and density?

    Volume can be found by \(V = \frac{m}{\rho}\).

  • Why is density an intensive property?

    Density is intensive because it does not depend on the amount of substance present.

  • How does temperature affect density?

    Increasing temperature usually decreases density because volume expands while mass stays constant.

  • What is the density of water?

    The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³ or 1000 kg/m³ at 4°C.

  • How is density used to identify substances?

    Each substance has a characteristic density, so measuring density helps identify materials.

  • What happens to density when a substance changes state from solid to liquid?

    Density usually decreases because volume increases when melting, but mass remains constant.

  • Why do objects float or sink based on density?

    Objects float if their density is less than the fluid's density and sink if it is greater.

  • How to measure density experimentally?

    Measure mass with a balance and volume by displacement or geometric calculation, then calculate density.

  • What is the significance of density in physics?

    Density helps explain buoyancy, material properties, and behavior under different conditions.
