200
What is mass?
How much matter is in something
200
What are two scientific principles that keep a boat afloat?
What are matter and density?
200
What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and volume. Everything that you can touch, feel, see and taste
200
What is the name of the force that is the pull between two objects? It holds all objects on Earth?
What is gravity?
300
What is the density of an object with a mass of 45g and a volume of 9cm3
5 g/cm3
300
What tool is used to find mass and what is the measurement unit?
The tool is an electronic balance or a triple beam and it is measured in grams or kilograms
300
What are the three states of matter?
What are a solid, liquid and gas?
300
What are constraints?
Constraints are factors that limit how you can solve a problem.
300
Name all of the units for density (volume, mass, density)
Volume = mL or cm3 Mass = g, kg Density = g/mL or g/cm3
400
What will happen if you drop an object into water that has a density of 1.33g/cm3?
It will sink
400
When two boxes have the same mass, do they have the same density? Why?
No because volume effects the density.
400
What is buoyant force?
What is the upward push that keeps objects floating in liquid?
400
Explain the difference between an atom and a molecule.
Matter is made of extremely small particles called atoms. Molecules are a combination of two or more atoms.
400
The weight of water that is pushed away by the boat is _______ to the weight of the boat?
What is .....equal?
500
Name the 3 states of matter from highest to lowest density
Solid = the highest density Liquid = "medium" density Gas = the least density
500
Does your mass or weight change on other planets? Also explain what causes this to happen.
Your weight changes. This happens because weight is affected by gravity.
500
What are the scientific principles to float a boat?
Volume of boat... Surface Area Buoyancy.... Force pushing Up Gravity.... Force pulling down Density = Mass/volume Answer describes a minimum of 3 scientific principles for 500 points.
