Density
Purpose
:
To determine the density of objects.
Introduction
:
All matter has mass and volume. Mass and volume are physical properties of matter and may
vary with different objects. For example, it is possible for two pieces of metal to be made
out of
the same material yet for one piece to be bigger than the other. If the first piece of metal is twice
as large as the second, then you would expect that this piece is also twice as heavy (or have
twice the mass) as the first. If both pieces of me
tal are made of the same material the ratio of the
mass and volume will be the same
