The formula for density is D=m/v (Density equals mass over volume)
This means that density is equal to the amount of matter "stuff" in an object in a certain amount of space, or volume. In SI units, density can be measured in kilograms per cubic meter , or grams per cubic centimeter.
Recall that we see density written like these examples:
13.534 grams per cubic centimeter (density of metallic liquid Mercury)
1 pound per cubic foot (density of a "common" form of styrofoam)
Note that the volume measurements are in units, or in "just one" of the specified volume measures. We reduce the volume to get a "one" or to get that single unit. For instance, if we had styrofoam, and we measured 2 pounds of it and it had the volume of 2 cubic feet, we'd reduce that by dividing by 2 so we could get a single unit of the specified volume in our statement of density.
A last example might be that if we had 45 grams per 3 cubic centimeters, we'd have 15 grams per cubic centimeters after the division to get that single unit volume.

∙ 13y agoDensity = mass / volume
Density is a measure of how heavy something is in proportion to how much room it takes up.
For example, a kilogram of bricks and a kilogram of feathers weigh the same but the feathers would take up a lot more space. We say 'feathers are less dense than bricks'.

What is the density of a golfball?
The density of golfball is less then density of water
What is the ratio of an objects mass to its volume?
Density
How do you find the mass when the voulme and density is given?
Density = mass/volumeMass = (density) x (volume)Volume = mass/density
How do you calculate the volume in density?
density = mass/volume If you know density and mass, you can calculate the volume by manipulating the density equation such that volume = mass/density. Example: density = 3.57g/cm3 mass = 2.4g volume = ? volume = mass/density = 2.4g/3.57g/cm3 = 0.67cm3
What is the formula to finding density?
The formula for calculating density is as follows: density = mass/volume. Simply put, if you divide an object's mass by its volume, you will find its density. Density is the mass of an object per unit volume.

What is the difference density and relative density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
What is the difference of relative density and density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
What is the mass of a sample divided by its volume?
Its density. Density is mass per unit volume.
