Edexcel A Level Physics:復(fù)習(xí)筆記4.1 Density
Density
- Density is the?mass per unit volume?of an object
- Objects made from low-density materials typically have a lower mass
- For example, a balloon is less dense than a small bar of lead despite occupying a larger volume
- The units of density depend on the units used for mass and volume:
- If the mass is measured in?g?and volume in?cm3, then the density will be in?g / cm3
- If the mass is measured in?kg?and volume in?m3, then the density will be in?kg / m3
Gases are less dense than a solid
- The volume of an object may not always be given directly, but can be calculated with the appropriate equation depending on the object’s shape
Volumes of common 3D shapes
Worked Example
A paving slab has a mass of 73 kg and dimensions 40 mm × 500 mm × 850 mm.
Calculate the density, in kg m-3?of the material from which the paving slab is made.
Exam Tip
- When converting a?larger?unit to a?smaller?one, you?multiply (×)
- E.g. 125 m = 125 × 100 = 12 500 cm
- When you convert a?smaller?unit to a?larger?one, you?divide (÷)
- E.g. 5 g = 5 / 1000 = 0.005 or 5 × 10-3?kg
- When dealing with squared or cubic conversions, cube or square the conversion factor too
- E.g. 1 mm3?= 1 / (1000)3?= 1 × 10-9?m3
- E.g. 1 cm3?= 1 / (100)3?= 1 × 10-6?m3
