Mass and Density
The amount of stuff that makes up a thing
What is mass?
The formula used for calculating density
What is density = mass / volume ?
Planet rule that establishes no moons are allowed to be planets
What is a planet must orbit the star at the center of the solar system?
Name for a solar system object that is in the process of forming into a planet
What is a planetesimal?
The measure of the amount of space and object takes up
What is volume?
Density of water (must include units)
What is 1g/cm3 or 1g/mL or 1kg/L?
Planet rule that establishes that weird shaped asteroids are not allowed to be planets.
What is a planet must be large enough that gravity crushes it into a spherical shape?
What is use a volume formula?
Bonus points: V = (4/3)*pi*r3
Anything that has mass and takes up space
What is matter?
The density of an object with a mass of 20g and a volume of 10mL. Include proper units.
What is 2g/mL?
Planet rule that says objects like Ceres which is a sphere but is located inside the asteroid belt with lots of neighbors cannot be a planet
What is a planet must be large enough to clear out its orbital of other objects of similar size?
The way to calculate the volume of a weird shaped solid object.
What is make an estimation based on known shapes or submerge the object in water and measure the displacement?
Physical characteristic of an object that is determined by dividing the amount of matter that makes it up by the amount of space it takes up.
What is density?
The density of a cube that is 2cm long on each side and has a mass of 40g. Include units.
What is 5g/cm3?
Name given to Pluto because it fails to be large enough clear out its orbit of similar sized objects.
Calculate the volume. An object is submerged in 100mL of water. After being submerged, the graduated cylinder reads 175mL.
What is 75mL?
Measurement that describes how strongly gravity will pull down on an object.
What is weight?
This is the reason that the SI system is so useful when comes to volumes for liquids and solids
What is 1 cm3 = 1mL ? There is an easy direct conversion between the two.
Solar system object that makes Pluto fail the 3rd planet rule thus destroying its planetary status.
