Density is defined as the mass divided by the volume. This definition can, in many cases, also be used to measure the density.

Calculate volume for a trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a two-dimensional object. 2d objects do not have volume. To calculate the area, see below. With the parallel sides as base1 and base2, and the distance between them as the height: height*(base1+base2)/2
Formula for finding the volume of a square?
Vol = 0 That is because a square is a 2-dimensional object and 2-d objects do not have a volume.
How can two objects of similar shape and size have different densities?
They can have similar shape, similar size and even similar identity (say, wood) and still be of vastly different density. Consider a block of Balsa wood the size of the book "Gone With the Wind". Weigh it. Now consider a block of Sugar Maple or Hickory exactly the same size. Weigh it. It will be muchheavier than the Balsa. The difference is the density.
What objects have a hexagon shape?
What objects have a hexagon shape?
True or false Points are geometric objects with no dimensions?
True. Points are geometric objects with no dimensions.
What objects can parachutes drag?
Objects with a density lower than 1.00. Find this by using the formula Density=Mass divided by Volume.
How do you calculate an objects density?
You take the mass of the object and divide it by the volume
What is the formula of trying to find a objects density?
Mass divided by volume
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sink in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
Why is an objects density expressed as a relationship between 2 units?
because the formula for density is mass times volume. Which equals density.
How do you figure out an objects mass?
well there really isn't a formula, but i suggest using a balance, if the object isn't to heavy. the formula for density is mass/volume, but density and mass are different concepts
Why do you need to know the density of things?
To have knowledge about their property in the real physical world. You can also calculate how much mass an object has if you know how big it is. For example: * Low density objects floats on water. * High density objects sink in water.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
How do you find the density of an koosh?
You can find the density of odd shaped objects by first finding the displacement volumeÊin water andÊthen applying the formula mass/vol=density g/cm cubed.
Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
