Density Density: is the amount of matter in a given volume. This mass to volume relationship allows us to compare how "heavy or light" different substances are.
Density **Recall from PMOM: All substances are made of different particles. Therefore the density of a fluid depends on the particles it is made of. Notice D has different particles than the other 3. Also notice A & C have the same number of particles/mass but C has more room/volume so A is more dense
Calculating Density Calculating Density Density is the mass per unit of volume. Copy these formulas: The units of density are (copy solid & liquid units):
