B.1.2—Density Topic Practice

IB Physics syllabusPhysics SL/HLFirst assessment 2025
Practise calculating density, mass and volume in contexts from liquids to icebergs, with clear substitutions and correct units.
How this is tested
- calculate density from mass and volume, or rearrange ρ = m/V to find an unknown quantity with correct SI units
- use geometry with density to show a mass, such as an iceberg, from dimensions inferred from floating-depth data
- estimate atomic spacing by finding volume per atom from bulk density, then taking the cube root of that volume
