The amount of matter that makes up an object or substance.
What is a way to measure weight?
Spring scale
What is used to measure mass?
Triple beam balance.
What is used to measure volume?
Graduated cylinder.
What is the density of water?
1 g/mL
What is volume?
The amount of space an object or substance takes up.
Difference between weight and volume?
Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object and volume is how much space an object takes up.
What units are used in mass?
g, kg, ect.
cm^3, L, etc.
Is density dependent on the amount of sample?
No.
What is weight?
Force of gravity acting on an object.
Difference between weight and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.
Would your mass change on the moon and on earth?
No. Weight changes.
What is a way to find the volume of regular shaped objects?
Volume = L x W x H
How do you find density?
Density = Mass/Volume
What is density?
The measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance.
Would you weigh the same on the moon as you do on earth?
No, there are different gravitational pulls.
How do we calculate mass given volume and density?
Mass = Density x Volume
What is a way to find volume of irregular shaped objects?
Water displacement.
Mass=143g, Volume=13.8mL...What is the Density?
10.4 g/mL
What is the formula for density?
Density = mass/volume
What is the scientific unit for weight?
Newtons
Carly purchased a bottle of juice during lunch. How could you determine the mass of the juice only?
Mass of juice = Total mass - Mass of the empty bottle.
How is volume calculated given mass and density?
Volume = Mass/Density
Mass=45.0g, using displacement the two volumes obtained were 25.0mL and 41.5mL.... What is the density?
2.73 g/mL
