Question

The mass per unit volume of a substance is called __________.

Answer 1

Answer: Density

This measurement tells you how packed in a substance is. The higher the density, the more the object weighs for a certain volumetric unit (such as a cubic meter). Eg: a cubic meter of feathers is likely to weigh less than a cubic meter of solid gold because the feathers have a lot more air in them as opposed to the gold which is more compact.

density = mass/volume is the formula you often use
