Introductory Message
Welcome to General Physics 1
The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Sagay City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults)
in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.
The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.
For learning facilitator:

The General Physics 1 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-
learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.
For the learner:

The General Physics 1 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue
learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with
meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner,
carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer
the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Density
I. Learning Competency with Code

Relate density, specific gravity, mass, and volume to each other.
(STEM_GP12FM-IIf-40)
II. Background Information for Learners
Do you know that when your family has

consumed 1 cubic meter of water for the
whole month, that amount of water has a
mass of 1000 kg (1 metric ton)? But nothing
compares to mercury as the densest liquid.
One cubic meter of mercury in standard
temperature and pressure has a mass of
13,534 kg. Mercury is 13.5 times denser than
water.

III. Activity Proper

Directions: Read the selection below about density and answer the activity that
follows.
By knowing the density of different materials, you can have an idea on which of them
will float or sink in water. Mercury, iron and stone will sink at the bottom because they
are denser compared to water. Wood, oil and air certainly are less dense than water,
that’s why they like to stay at the top of the water. Materials of the same composition
will always have the same density.
Density (ρ) – the mass per unit volume of a material. The SI unit for density is kg/m 3.
ρ – density of the material(kg/m3)

m – mass of the material(kg)
V – volume of the material(m3)
A pure gold ring and a gold necklace will have different shapes and sizes but it will
always have the same density regardless of their shape. All materials of the same type
will have the same value for density.
Figure 1: A helium balloon will easily fly up because

helium gas is less dense than the surrounding air and oil
has a lower density compared to water that’s why it settles
at the top of water.

Specific Gravity – the density ratio between a material and a standard material. For
liquids, use water density as the standard material (1000kg/m 3 at 4⁰C) and for
gases, use oxygen density as the standard material (1.43 kg/m3 at 0⁰C). A substance
with a specific gravity of less than 1 will float in water.

Activity Key Answers
1.A. Vring = (Aouter circle – Ainner circle) x thickness = (π(6mm)2 – π(5.5mm)2) x 5mm = 90.32mm3
1m 3
1.B. Convert the volume to m3: 90.32mm3 ቀ ቁ = 9.032 x 10-8 m3
1000mm
Calculate for the mass in kg: m = ρV = (1.93 x 104kg/m3)(9.032 x 10-8 m3) = 1.74 x 10-3 kg = 1.74g
1.C. Price = 1.74g x 1836.15 pesos = 3194.90 pesos
1.D. V = 9.032 x 10-8 m3
1.E. m = 1.74 x 10-3 kg
ρSUB 721kg/m3
2. Specific Gravity = = = 0.72
ρSTAN 1000 kg/m3
3.A. ρ = specific gracity x ρstandard = 0.92 x 1000 = 920 kg/m3
3.B. m = ρV = 920kg/m3 x 0.001m3 = 0.92kg
3.C. It will settle at the top because it has a lower density compared to water.
3.D. Cooking oil
