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.
Density = 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 theformula for are for trapezoid?
Do you mean the area of a trapezoid if so then the formula is:- Area measured in square units = 0.5*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
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 equation for mass volume and density?
Mass = Density x Volume Density = Mass/Volume Volume = Mass/Density
Is density is density extensive?
Density is an intensive property.
What must a manager consider about the food when choosing a suitable probe for monitoring the temperature of a hamburger patty?

What is the Relationship between relative density and density?
the relation between relative density and density is that relative density of a substance is its density itself without its unit.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
Mass and volume are related to the sinking and floating of an object through their density. An object will sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid it is placed in, and will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid. The relationship can be expressed as density = mass/volume.
What is the difference of relative density and density?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water). Relative density is dimensionless and is often used to identify substances or determine their purity based on their comparison to a standard substance.
