Required practical - Investigating density (AQA GCSE Physics Combined Science): Flashcards

$\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

Electronic balance

Displacement can

Measure length, width, height with ruler, then calculate

Displacement can: collect overflow water in measuring cylinder

Object's volume (Archimedes' principle)

Zero balance with empty cylinder on it

Wrong reading from incorrect angle; read at eye level

$\text{g/cm}^3$ and $\text{kg/m}^3$

Multiply by 1000

Divide by 1000

$1 \text{ g/cm}^3$

At eye level with curved liquid surface
