What is Density?


Summary

Objects float or sink based on their density, which is determined by how tightly matter is packed inside. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, typically in grams per cubic centimeter. A golf ball feels lighter than a tennis ball even though it has more stuff packed inside as it is more dense. Visual examples with cubes and cutting a piece out of a tennis ball help demonstrate these concepts effectively. Subscribe to the channel for more educational videos on similar topics.


Objects and Density

Objects float based on density, which is the tightness of matter inside. Less dense objects have more matter packed. Golf ball and tennis ball comparison.

Comparison of Golf Ball and Tennis Ball

Golf ball feels lighter despite having more stuff packed inside compared to a tennis ball that is hollow. Explanation of density measurement in mass and volume.

Density Measurement

Density is measured by dividing mass by volume, usually in grams per cubic centimeter. Explanation of volume measurement using water-filled cubes.

Density and Floating/Sinking

Objects more dense than water will sink, less dense will float. Examples with cubes of specific mass/sides and cutting a piece out of a tennis ball.
