DENSITY

PRESENTED BY THARINIE THINAKARAN AND SARAH.

PHENOMENA RELATED TO THE
DIFFERENCES IN DENSITY IN OUR
EVERYDAY LIFE.
MEANING OF
DENSITY
DENSITY CAN BE THE AMOUNT OF MATTER IN A GIVEN VOLUME, ALSO
KNOWN AS MASS DENSITY. DENSITY CAN ALSO BE THE NUMBER OF
OBJECTS IN A GIVEN VOLUME, KNOWN AS NUMBER DENSITY. DENSITY IS
CALCULATED BY DIVIDING THE MASS OF AN OBJECT BY THE VOLUME OF
THE OBJECT.
ICE FLOATING ON
WATER
THE COMMON DENSITY EXAMPLE OF ICE FLOATING ON WATER. THE
PRINCIPLE STATES THAT AN OBJECT IS BUOYED BY A FORCE THAT IS EQUAL
TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VOLUME OF LIQUID IT DISPLACES WHEN IT IS
PLACED IN THE LIQUID.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS
FOOD PREPARATION.
FOOD PREPARATION, HEAT CAUSES MOISTURE TO SUBLIMATE INTO STEAM
WHICH IS LESS DENSE THAN THE SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE. STEAM
ALSO CARRIES HEAT AWAY FROM FOOD, HELPING IT COOL OFF ONCE A
MEAL IS DONE. IT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT PART IN REGULATING HEAT WITHIN
PREPARED FOOD AND IN PROCESSES LIKE FRYING AND FRICASSEEING.
