📖 1. Density & Units

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Density (ρ): The mass per unit volume of a substance, calculated as ρ = M/V, where M is mass and V is volume.
  • SI Units for Density: Kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
  • Mass (M): The amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms (kg).
  • Volume (V): The space occupied by an object, measured in cubic meters (m³).
  • Displacement Technique: A method to determine the volume of irregular objects by measuring the amount of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.
  • Particle Model: A representation of matter as made up of particles (atoms or molecules), used to explain states of matter and changes of state.
