TOPIC – DENSITY NOTES & WORKSHEET NAME-

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed and how
heavy the molecules are in an object. Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume.

1.The mass of an object is its amount of matter.

2.Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
3.The volume of regular solid can be used using mathematical formulas that depend on the
specific geometry of the object.
4. The formula to measure the volume of a box is: length X width X height.
5.You can find the volume of an irregular shaped item like a rock can be measured through fluid
displacement using a graduated cylinder and water.
6.The volume of the rock is 20 ml or 20 cm3
7.Density is a physical property of matter. Density is defined as: The amount of mass per unit of
volume
8.The unit of density is: g/cm3

9. volume = length x width x height 1mL = 1 cm3

volume = πr2h

d = m/v
