![Page 1: Density Density = mass / volume (D = m/v) Mass = amount of stuff (matter) -- NOT weight, which is mass times gravity You weigh less on the moon, but your.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072011/56649e265503460f94b157cc/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Density
Density = mass / volume (D = m/v)
Mass = amount of stuff (matter)
-- NOT weight, which is mass times gravity
You weigh less on the moon, but your mass is the same.

Density
Volume = amount of space a thing occupies. L x W x H (cm3) or graduated cylinder (ml).
** Density measures how much stuff (mass) fits in a certain amount of space (volume).

Examples
Suitcase analogy
Styrofoam cup
Styrofoam bag vs. paper clip = more mass doesn’t mean more dense.

Density
The more closely packed stuff is, the denser it is.
Water has a density of 1 g/cm3
Is a broken piece of rock the same density as the original rock?
YES.

Density
Temperature = how fast atoms are moving.
Heat excites atoms and they bump into each other... temperature increases.
Excited atoms move apart, so density decreases (less dense).

Temp. vs. Density

Density
Pressure:
Pressure causes volume to decrease.
Atoms get pushed together and packed tightly.
As a result, density increases

Density
When Earth was formed:
- dense material sank (mantle/core. - lighter material floated (crust)
Density differences = convection.- weather- ocean currents
