Density

Density is mass per unit of volume. Density also shows how tightly packed in molecules are in a material and also help determine buoyancy.

An unknown object is placed on a balance which then reads 6.118 Its volume is measured to be 3.04 Find the density of this object by dividing mass by volume?

The density of the object can be calculated by dividing its mass (6.118) by its volume (3.04).

Density = Mass/Volume Density = 6.118/3.04 Density ≈ 2.015 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the object is approximately 2.015 g/cm³.

What is the density of 3cm?

3cm is a measure of distance, with dimension [L]. Density is a measure of denseness (as the name suggests) with dimensions [ML-3]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot relate quantities with such diverse dimensions without additional information.

What is true about density and states of matter for most substances?

The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.

What is glycerol density of 1.126?

The dennsity of glycerine is 1,261 g/cm3.

Density of a toothpick?

It depends on what they're made of, but usually the density of soft woods is somewhere in the vicinity of 750 kg/cubic meter (with considerable variation).

What is the definition of lower density when solid?

A definition of lower density doesn't exist. Solids with densities under

1,00 g/cm3have a very low density.

What is the density of phenytoin?

The density of phenytoin is 1,257 g/cm3.

What two pieces of information do you need to find the density of an object?

mass (or weight, which is mass relative to Earth's gravity) and volume.

The density unit will be mass (weight) per unit volume.

For a very rough example, the density of air in a tire is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch)

How does density relate to porosity?

The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.

What is the Density of France?

The population density is 113/km² (293/sq mi).

What is the density of garnets?

There are various types of garnets: they are aluminium silicates of metals such as iron, magnesium, zinc or a mixture of these compounds. Their density ranges from 3.8 to 4.3 grams per cubic centimetre.

What is the density of an anchor?

An anchor is anything with a density greater than water. It also has to have enough mass and/or shape to keep the ship moving at the speed it needs to move. This could entail full stop, with a traditional anchor, or slower than the wind, as with a sea anchor.

How do you find the density of a sphere?

calculate the volume using the formula:

Vsphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3

then calculate density by

Density = Mass/Volume

How does average density affect bouyancy?

The average density of an object determines its buoyancy. If the average density of an object is less than the density of the fluid it is in, it will float. If the average density is greater, it will sink. Buoyancy relies on the difference in densities between the object and the fluid.

What is the density of a metal ring that has a volume of 3.10cm and a mass of 6.00 g?

Volume cannot be measured in centimetres. Without the volume in appropriate units, the question makes no sense and so cannot be answered.

What the density of a metal block that has a mass of 525 g and a volume of W cm?

The measurement unit for volume is not a centimetre and so the volume cannot be W cm and, in that respect, the question is flawed. If you meant W cubic centimetres, then the density is 525/W grams per cubic centimetre.

If 30.943 g of a liquid occupy a space of 35.0 mls what is the density of the liquid in gcm3?

if 30.943 g of a liquid occupy a space of 35.0 ml what is the density of the liquid in gcm3

Which has the greatest density asteroids at rest or an asteroids traveling nearly at the velocity of light?

Well now, here we go again. When you start talking about the properties of

things moving near the speed of light, now you have to start specifying WHO

is measuring them.

-- If two scientists together got ahold of a piece of an asteroid one day,

brought it to their lab, measured its mass and its volume, calculated its

density, and each of them wrote the number down in his notebook, AND THEN . . .

-- If one of them somehow went to space and landed on that same asteroid,

while the other scientist, still on Earth, watched the asteroid shoot through

space at some high speed, THEN . . .

-- The travelling scientist, sitting on the asteroid and shooting through space,

could dig up a lump of it, measure its mass and volume, calculate its density,

check the number against his notebook, and he would find that it was still the

same density as before. It had not changed since he and his colleague did the

same measurement together in ther lab.

-- The scientist who stayed home ... if he had some way to measure the mass

and volume of a lump of the asteroid as it whizzed past him at a high speed ...

would find that its density has increased. That's because once the asteroid

started moving, any lump of it would shrink in the direction of its motion, while

the mass of the lump would become larger. More mass, divided by less volume,

would show up as increased density.

-- If the two scientists could communicate, they would get into a terrible argument.

Their answers would be different, and they would BOTH be correct.

-- And it would not even depend on the speed of the asteroid. It would happen

at ANY speed ... it's just that the DIFFERENCE would become greater as the speed

increases.

If you understand this, then you haven't read it carefully enough. What it describes

can't be. But it is.

I'm so glad you asked.

How did you find the density of mercury?

Density is the ration between mass and volume.

What is the density of MDF?

The density of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is technically a variable dependent on thickness; however the rule of thumb comes out to about

700 kg/m^3 (Metric mks) or

0.700g/cm^3 (Metric Standard) or

0.025lbmass/in^3 or (English (Imperial) Standard)

7.000E-010 N s^2/mm^4 (Metric mmNs).

HDF or High Density Fibreboard is more dense than MDF with an approximate Metric mks value of

900 kg/m^3.
