Question | Answer |
---|---|
Define Matter | Objects that take up space and have mass are made up of matter |
What does everything around you have? | Matter |
What are the three properties of matter? | Density, Matter, Volume |
Define Mass | a measure of the amount of matter in an object |
How do we measure mass? | We use a triple beam balance |
What is the unit of measurement of mass? | Grams |
Define Volume | The amount of space an object takes up |
How do you find the Volume of Solid? | For the length of a solid, you must use the formula V= LxWxH Unit of Measurement: cm3 |
How do you find the Volume of a Liquid? | For the volume of a liquid, you must use a graduated cylinder Unit of measurement: mL |
How do you find the Volume of an Irregular Object? | For an irregular object, you must use the formula V= Final Volume-Initial Volume |
Define Density | The amount of mass packed into a certain volume |
What is the formula for density? | Density = mass/volume |
What is the Unit of Measurement for density? | g/mL ( grams per milliliters) g/cm3 |
How can we tell if an object will sink or float? | Objects with a density less than that of water will float Objects with a density greater than water will sink |
What is the density of water? | 1.o g/ml |
When an object is cut in half, what property does not change? | Density |
Define Weight | the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. |
What is the difference between weight and mass? | -The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. - Weight, on the other hand, does change with location. |
