Copper has a density of rho = 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3.
Water has a density of rho = 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L =
1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL
Helium has a density of rho = 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 =
0.0001785 kg/L = 0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL. In this example:
Metal has a density of 8950 kg/m3.
Liquid has a density of 1000 kg/m3.
Gas has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3. The metal copper is compact.

What word tells the Amount of material that makes up something?
Density is the amount of material which will make up something. Density can be varied accordingly to make items of the same material, but for different uses.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
High density is a characteristic of which state of matter?
High density is a characteristic of a Gas. When something has a high density it means there is a lot of a certain gas, in one area.
Density is a measure of how much what is in a substance?
False. Density is the measure of the amount of mass an object has
Does the viscosity of a liquid affect how much of the liquid is displaced?
No, it is actually density that affects how much of a liquid is displaced when something is put in it. It is a common misconception that viscosity and density are the same thing, but the fact is, substances of the same density can have entirely different viscosities.
Is density how heavy something is?
No its more like how compact something is. Here is the formula Mass per unit Volume
What is density and how is it calculated?
Density is a very important property which can be used to identify a substance. We can calculate Density by dividing mass by volume.Density is the measure of how compact something is. To calculate density, take the mass of the substance, and divide it by the volume of the substance.
What can density determine?
An object's density is the ratio of its mass to its volume. A very dense object has tightly packed, or compact, matter.
Why are the terms heavy and light not good to use when describing density?
Heavy and light are terms which have no real relation to density. Density means the state of being dense. In other words, compact. If you refer to density with light and heavy, that would confuse this with mass (being the weight). Better terms to use would be dense, compact or even crowded.
What is to compact?
Compact has a few different meanings. It can mean to neatly pack something or it can mean that it is made up of something specific. It can also mean to exert force onto something.
How does density change with different objects?
The density changes with different objects as all have different mass and volume(the space an object occupies) and the more compressed(Compact) the object is the more density it has.
What is sugar's density?
Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.
What do volume mass and density have in common?
Well, in order to find the density of an object, here's what you must do:1) find the volume2) find the mass (by weighing)3) Mass over volume = densityMass volume tells us how much space something takes up. Density tells us how much is in that space i.e. how compact the molecules are.
What is a wad?
A wad is a compact mass or a pile of something.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
What has more density water or human tissue?
Density is defined by how compact a particular substance is. In the case of the density of water verses the human body, your body is slightly less dense than water that is why humans can float.
Is density how much something weighs?
Density is not how much something weighs. Density and weight go together but are not the same thing as each other.
