he amount of matter an object has for its size
is called its density. Density is often expressed in units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). It can be calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. For example, the density of water is 1 g/cm³ because one cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram. Objects with higher density are generally heavier for their size than objects with lower density. Density is an important property in materials science, engineering, and many other fields.
The amount of matter an object has for its size is commonly known as its density. Density is a physical property that describes how much mass is contained within a given volume of an object. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.
Step 1: Determine the mass of the object. Use a balance or scale to measure the object's mass in kilograms (kg) or grams (g), ensuring that the measurements are in the appropriate units.
Step 2: Determine the volume of the object. The method for determining volume depends on the shape of the object. If the object has a regular shape, such as a cube or sphere, the volume can be calculated using a specific formula. If the object has an irregular shape, the volume can be measured indirectly using displacement or other techniques.
Step 3: Calculate the density. Divide the mass of the object (in kg or g) by its volume (in cubic meters, liters, or cubic centimeters) using the formula: density = mass / volume.
For example, if an object has a mass of 100 grams (0.1 kg) and a volume of 50 cubic centimeters (0.05 liters), the density would be calculated as follows:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 0.1 kg / 0.05 L
Density = 2 kg/L or 2000 g/L
The density of the object would be 2 kilograms per liter or 2000 grams per liter.
