Class 9- Gravitation 1. Define mass? 2. Define volume? 3. Define density and show the formula for calculating density. 4. Why does changing the shape of an object have no effect on the density of that object? 5. Aluminum is used to make airplanes. Cast iron is used to make weightlifting equipment. Explain why the densities of these metals make them useful for these purposes? 6. What is the density of water? Remember for water 1g=1ml=1cm3 7. Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of a glass of water? 8. Calculate the densities of the following objects. Remember to place units after each number. length = 6cm width = 3cm height = 1cm mass = 36g Volume = _____ density = _____ Object B length = 10cm width = 5cm height = 2cm mass = 300g Volume = _____ density = _____ Object C Use the water displacement method to determine the density of object C (silly putty). Initial water level in graduated cylinder = 25ml Final water level after placing silly putty into graduated cylinder = 29ml Mass of silly putty=8g volume = _____ density = _____ 9. Which of the following materials will float on water (density 1 g/ml)? 3 3 3 3 Air = .001 g/cm Corn oil = .93 g/cm Glycerine = 1.26 g/cm Corn syrup = 1.38 g/cm Wood = .85 g/cm3 Steel = 7.81 g/cm3 Rubber = 1.34 g/cm3 Ice = .92 g/cm3 3 Water = 1.00 g/cm Object A

a) The ratio of an objects mass to its ________ is called the density of the object. b) A kilogram of lead occupies a much smaller volume than a kilogram of water, because _______ has a much higher density. c) For the masses and volumes indicated, calculate the density in grams per cubic centimeters. i) Mass = 453 g; Volume = 225 cm3 ii) Mass = 5.0 g; Volume = 10.0 cm3 iii) Mass = 26.1 g; Volume = 2.0 mL 11. If 89.2 mL of a liquid has a mass of 75.2 g, calculate the liquids density. 12. A cube of metal weighs 1450 g and displaces 542 mL of water when immersed. Calculate the density of the metal.

13. Archimedes was commissioned to determine if the crown given to the king was pure gold or not. If the crown had a mass of 882 grams and displaced 50.0 mL of water, was the crown pure gold? Show the calculation. 14. A cubic block of one of the substances listed on the chart has a side length of 5.0 cm and a mass of 224 grams. Which material is it? 15. Pumice is volcanic rock that contains many trapped air bubbles. A 225 gram sample occupied 236.6 mL. What is the density of pumice? (Ans0.951 g/mL) Will pumice float on water? The density of water is 1.0 g/mL.) 16. Which has the greater mass, 1 liter of water or l liter of gasoline? The density of water is 1.00 g/mL and that of gasoline is approximately 0.68 g/mL. 17. A sample of lead is found to have a mass of 32.6 g. A graduated cylinder contains 2.8 mL of water. After the lead sample is added to the cylinder the water level reads 5.7 mL. Calculate the density of the lead sample. (11g/mL) 18. Read the following statements carefully and answer the questions that follow:: (i) A sealed waterproof packet X of mass 600g has a volume of 450 cm3 (ii) Another sealed waterproof packet Y of mass 2oog has a volume of 300 cm3 (iii) The density of water equals 1gcm3 (iv) The two objects are put in water one by one. (a) What is the density of packet X? (b) Will this packet sink or float, when put in water? (c) What is the density of packet Y? (d) Will this packet sink or float when put in water? (e) Give reason for the difference in behavior of packets X and Y
