Mass divided by volume

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The formula for density is: density = mass / volume. The resulting value is typically expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).
An object floats on a fluid when its density is less than the density of the fluid. This is due to buoyancy, the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object. If the object's density is equal to or greater than the fluid's density, it will sink.
The equation to calculate object momentum is: p = m * v where p is momentum, m is mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object.
You can calculate the mass of an object by multiplying its density by its volume. The formula to calculate mass is: mass = density x volume.
An object with a density greater than 1.0 g/cm3 will sink in freshwater with a density of 1.0 g/cm3. Objects with a density less than 1.0 g/cm3 will float in freshwater.
To calculate the weight of an object when the volume is known, you would also need the density of the material the object is made of. By multiplying the volume of the object by its density, you can determine the weight of the object.
