Ilustracja interaktywna przedstawia porównanie gęstości trzech substancji: drewna, żelaza i złota. Przedstawione są też wzory na gęstość i masę. Od góry znajdują się trzy sześciany opisane: Wood, m - 0,55 g; Iron, m - 7,9 g; Gold, m - 19,3 g. Nad nimi kolejno V równa się 1 centymetr sześcienny, V równa się 1 centymetr sześcienny, V równa się 1 centymetr sześcienny. Po ich lewej stronie znajduje się strzałka podpisana Density of solids. Pod nimi widnieją trzy kartki papieru. Na kartce od lewej napisane jest: Density of the body is determined as the quotient of its mass and volume, poniżej wzór d równa się m przez v. Na środkowej kartce napisane jest: The density of the substance determines what mass the volume unit has, for example for wood d równa się 0,55 g na centymetr sześcienny. Na kartce po prawej widnieje napis: Knowing the density of the substance of which the body is made and its volume, it is possible to calculate your body weight. From the definition of density, we get: m równa się d razy v. Sześcian Wood opisany jest numerem (1), sześcian Gold opisany jest numerem (2), pierwsza kartka od lewej opisana jest numerem (3), trzecia kartka od lewej opisana jest numerem (4). Na ilustracji widoczne są numery, a na nich podpisy. 1. low density of wood in comparison to another solid bodies {audio}, 2. a valuable mineral with high density {audio}, 3. remember this formula for density {audio}, 4. you will often use this formula {audio}.

1. The weight to volumevolumevolume ratio in all cases was the same and was 2,7gcm3. This ratio does not depend on the way of examining individual cubes or combining them into one whole bar (e.g. by melting) as a rod. Thus, the ratio of body massmassmass to its volume is a physical quantity that characterizes the properties of the body.

2. DensitydensityDensity is a new physical quantity describing the properties of the body. Density of the body is determined on the basis of its mass and volume.

Density can be written mathematically in the form of the following formula:

density=massvolume
d=mVkgm3

Determine the minimum and maximum densitydensitydensity of a cuboidcuboidcuboid with the dimensions 4cm6cm7cm and the mass of 250 g, knowing that the ruler measures with 1 mm accuracy and the scale weighs with 2 g accuracy. Draw the conclusion obtained from the above calculation.

Conclusion

nagranie abstraktu

The measurement result differs most often from the real value of the measured quantity. We say that the result of each physical measurement is burdened with measurement uncertaintymeasurement uncertaintymeasurement uncertainty.

In our case, we can write that the densitydensitydensity of the measured cuboidcuboidcuboid was:

d równa się 0,67 plus minus 0,05 gramów na centymetr sześcienny.
d równa się 0,67 plus minus 0,05 gramów na centymetr sześcienny.

This uncertainty results both from the measurement method and the accuracy of the used instrument. An inaccurate reading of the results from the scale of the instrument may also be the reason of uncertainty. The properties of the tested subject can also influence the uncertainty of measurement.

nagranie abstraktu

DensitydensityDensity is a physical quantity that is often used to describe the physical properties of the studied physical body. For bodies of regular shaped, the volumevolumevolume determination procedure can be simplified. For this purpose, the mathematical relations that associate the volume of the body with its linear dimensions should be used. To determine the density of the body, we need to measure its mass and volume and then use the following formula:

density=massvolume
d=mVkgm3

If we know the density and the volume of the body, we can calculate its mass. For this purpose, the following formula should be used:

m=d·V,kg=kgm3·m3

The body volumevolumevolume of known massmassmass and density is calculated using the formula:

V=md,[m3]=[kgkgm3]

This uncertainty results both from the measurement method and the accuracy of the used instrument. An inaccurate reading of the results from the scale of the instrument may also be the reason of uncertainty. The properties of the tested subject can also influence the uncertainty of measurement.
