MASS
What is MASS?
(The amount of matter an object has.)
What is the formula for DENSITY?
D = M/V
What is another way to say "from least to greatest"?
From smallest to biggest
Does the MASS of an object change if gravity changes??
No, it doesn't.
If two liquids have the same volume, will they have the same density??
No because when you figure out the DENSITY, you have to look at the mass also.
(ex: All the liquids had the same volume but different masses. So, their DENSITIES were all different. - water, oil, liquid soap..)
What happens to the density if the mass INCREASES but the volume stays the SAME?
The DENSITY will INCREASE.
(*remember the CUBE DENSITY LAB)
Does the WEIGHT of an object change if the gravity changes? Give an example to prove your answer.
Yes, the weight changes if the gravity changes.
Remember layering the liquids? Why was oil at the top and karo syrup at the bottom?
Because karo syrup is MORE DENSE than oil so it fell to the bottom.
What does it mean to have the VOLUME of an object?
The amount of SPACE an object occupies
What is the difference between MASS and WEIGHT?
MASS is not changed by gravity but WEIGHT is.
What is 1 word to define "MASS"?
Molecules (or stuffing)
Which is easier to swim through, water or Jello? Explain your answer.
Water because it's LESS DENSE.
What is the basic unit we use to measure MASS?
gram g/
What is one word to describe VOLUME?
SPACE
What does an object's MASS tell us about an object?
Mass tells you the AMOUNT OF MATTER in an object.
