A Density Quiz |
| Lead has a high density, popcorn has low density. Which is heavier, a ton of lead or a ton of popcorn? | |
| What is the formula for density? | |
| 1: Density = Mass/Volume.
2: Density = Volume/Mass. 3: Density = Mass * Acceleration. 4: Density = Mass * C 2 . ANSWER: Click here for the correct answer. |

| According to a popular saying and a movie title (starring Sandra Bullock), would you say 'Hope' has high density or low density? | |
| 1: High Density
2: Low Density. 3: It would have a density of 1, the same as water. 4: This is a stupid question and I refuse to answer. ANSWER: Click here for the correct answer. |

| Aluminum is a metal with a lower density than lead, but they are both solid metals. Why are their densities different? | |
| 1: Aluminum has low density hydrogen atoms mixed into it.
2: Lead has a stronger gravitational attraction than aluminum. 3: Atoms are packed more tightly in lead than in aluminum, allowing more mass in a smaller volume. 4: Aluminum has a weak form of antigravity, which makes it's mass seem less and therefore its density seem less.

| If gravity differentiates materials in a planet, such that dense materials sink to the core and less dense materials rise to the crust, why doesn't the same happen with an apple or even a large boulder? | |
| 1: Gravity has a repulsive effect over short distances such as those mentioned.
2: With small masses, gravity is too weak to overcome the electro-chemical forces between molecules. 3: Small masses such as those mentioned do exhibit strong differentiation like that of a planet. 4: The internal energy cannot be overcome by gravity, thus preventing differentiation.
