∙ 14y agoWith the formula P = m / V
(the P is rho)
Which stands for Density = mass / volume.
Common dimensions are gram/cm3 and kg/m3

Why do you need to know the density of things?
To have knowledge about their property in the real physical world. You can also calculate how much mass an object has if you know how big it is. For example: * Low density objects floats on water. * High density objects sink in water.
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
How do you couculate density?
how do you calculate density
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
What does an objects density have to be in order to float in water?
The objects density has to be less than that of water (which is 1000kg/m3).
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sink in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)

What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
What determines an objects density?
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
What determines objects density?
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
How do you calculate surface density?
How can you calculate surface density if the volume density is 1.4 g/cm3
What physical properties are used to calculate the density of an object?
Mass and Volume are physical properties that can bed measured. By themselves, neither can bed used to identify unknown objects or substances. However, if you have measured the mass and the volume of an object, you can calculate its density.
What 2 things do you have to measure to find the density of objects?
You need to have the volume and the mass to calculate the density
