LESSON 7: Density and Graphing.

DENSITY
  • The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume..
 
density = mass ÷ volume

                                          ..and is usually expressed in kg/L, kg/m³, or g/cm³!

[Example]
Determine the density of a statue that has a mass of 145 kg, and a volume of 50L.
    • d = m/v
    • d = 145/50
    • d = 2.9 kg/L
GRAPHING
  • All graphs must contain FIVE important things:
      • Labelled axis
      • Appropriate scale
      • Title
      • Data points
      • Best fit line
  • Three things can be done when working with graphs:
      • Read the graph
      • Find the slope (rise/run)
      • Find the area under the graph
[Example]
The data below represents the hourly temperature for an 8-hour period.



Graphed Data, looked for slope, solved the area
