How is density not mass or weight?
Density is defined as the mass of something divided by the volume of the same thing. During a careful reading of the definition, it becomes apparent that density is not mass, and that density is also similarly not weight as well, either.
How do you calculate density of a rectangular solid?
Density is weight divided by volume. In the case of a rectangular solid, volume is length times width times height.
Is it true that weight and size is used to measure density?
To calculate the density, find the mass and the volume. Mass divided by volume = Density. Each substance has a different density. Density is measured in g/cc (solids) or g/ml (liquids).
Find the density of 2000 grams multiplied by 4000 Cm3?
Density is actually weight divided by volume. 2000/4000 is 0.5 grams per centimetre cubed
How would a person find the density of a wooden cube?
Density is weight divided by volume. The weight is found with a scale, and the volume is the length of any edge multiplied by itself twice, for example, if the edge is 3" long, 3"x3"x3" = 9 cubic inches.
Is an object's density equal to its mass divided by its length?
Not exactly. Density is weight divided by volume.
Density of solid?
Density is weight (mass actually) divided by volume.
What is the mathmatical formula for finding density?
Density is weight divided by volume.
What is a Adjective for heavy?
Geologists reference a material's density in reference to it's weight. Density is the material's weight divided by the weight of an equal volume of water.
How do you calculate the density of matter?
Volume occupied divided by weight
What tools are used for density?
Well density is weight divided by volume so a scale and a ruler
What is a Geologists adjective for heaviness?
Geologists reference a material's density in reference to it's weight. Density is the material's weight divided by the weight of an equal volume of water.
What is the measure of matter that is weight divided by volume?
None that I know of, but mass divided by volume is density.
What is weight divided by volume?
Weight divided by volume is density. Usually it is expressed as mass divided by volume. That is why a unit for density will be something like grams/liter, because mass is on the top and volume on the bottom.
How is density not mass or weight?
Density is defined as the mass of something divided by the volume of the same thing. During a careful reading of the definition, it becomes apparent that density is not mass, and that density is also similarly not weight as well, either.
How do you calculate the denstiy of pyrite?
Compare its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. The weight of the specimen divided by the weight of the water equals the density of the specimen.
When a submarine pumps water out of its flotations tanks its density decreases and it float. Why does its density decrease?
Density is weight divided by volume. Since the size of the hull stays the same, when the weight of the water is removed, the volume of the hull stays the same and the density is reduced.
