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

How much mass is packed into a certain volume

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

Electronic balance

Length × width × height

Displacement can with water

Volume of water displaced equals volume of object

Setting the reading to zero

Eye level with bottom of meniscus (curved surface)

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

Multiply by 1000

Divide by 1000

$1 \text{ g/cm}^3$ (or $1000 \text{ kg/m}^3$)
