Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation of density as a conversion factor has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Density: The relationship between density, mass and volume of the substance is given by the density calculation formula.

Densityofthesubstance(d)=massofthesubstance(m)volumeofthesubstance(V)

Density can be used as a conversion factor.

Densityofthesubstanceisgivenbyd=mV;wherem-mass;d-density;V-volumeMass of the substance is given bym=dVVolume of the substance is given byV=md

Explanation

Density can be used to convert mass of an object into volume of an object and vice versa.

The ratio between mass and volume of an object will give density of an object.

d=mVwhere,m-mass;d-density;V-volume

The mass of an object is calculated by the use of known volume and density

Mass of the substance is given bym=dV

The volume of an object is calculated by the use of known mass and density

Volume of the substance is given byV=md

Conclusion

The explanation of density as a conversion factor was given.
