Activity 5.3 Determining Density
Procedure
In this activity you will measure volume and mass to determine the density of several objects.
Conclusion
1. How can you use density to identify a material?
Density can be used to identify an object by discovering the mass on a scale, then finding the capacity of an item with a specific shape.
2. What are limitations of the calculated and indirect volume measurement?
Determining through water displacements. Also, the meniscus can be a minor on the appeal between water an a graduated cylinder
3. Explain the difference between weight and mass.
Mass- the amount of matter in the quantity of an object
Weight- the force of gravity on mass
