What is the tool used to measure mass?
100
ruler, meter stick or tape measure
What is commonly used to measure length/distance?

Density is the ration of mass to volume. it is the amount of matter per unit of volume
What is the definition of density?

What are three metric units for length that we commonly use?
200
2000mg
What is larger 1g or 2000mg?

No you cannot because then your measurement wouldn't be right which in science will affect your data and understand of data... you can't say that something is a little bit more than 3cm but call it 4cm if it was it would have been at the 4cm line.
Can you round your length to the nearest whole centimeter when using a ruler? Why or Why not?

.1 g/mL
What is the density, if given mass of 5 grams and volume of 50mL? Give the units.
200
the amount of space an object takes up
What is the definition of volume?
200
milliliters and volume of a liquid
What is the unit used when reading a graduated cylinder and what measurement is it for?
300
The middle beam would be on the 300g groove, the top weight would be on the 50 groove while the bottom weight would be on the third small line before the 1g on the bottom beam.
If you have a mass of 350.3g, describe what the triple beam balance weights would look like.
300
millimeters and 10.
What is are the little lines in between the centimeters on a ruler called and how many are in between one?
300
1g/mL
What is the density in g/mL if given a mass is 4000mg and volume of .004L?
300
54 cm3
What is the volume of a solid that has a width of 3cm, length of 6cm and height of 3 cm? include units.
300
kilograms and kg
What is basic unit of mass and what is the abbreviation used?
400
1. place object on the scale 2. move the large weight on middle beam over until the arm is below the line, them move weight back one groove. 3. Repeat same process for the weight on top beam. 4. Repeat same process for the weight on bottom beam. 5. Add up all three weights to get the total mass.
What is the five steps of using a triple beam balance (BE SPECIFIC)?
400
56mm, because using the metric conversion step you go down one step from centi - to milli so you move decimal over to the right 1 or there are 10 millimeters per 1 centimeter so you multiply 5.6 by 10 to get 56mm.
What is the length of a 5.6cm object in millimeters? How did you get the answer.
400
mass = Density x volume.... crossed multiply solving for mass
Density = mass/volume.... what is the equation for mass using density and volume? How did you get to it?
400
water displacement is water being moved by an object it from its original position. fill a graduated cylinder with a given amount of water - measure it, then place the marble in and measure the new amount. The difference is the water displaced and object's volume.
What is water displacement and how would you use it to find the volume of a marble?
400
since the volume of a solid is length x width x height and each are measured in cm, or mm, or m etc. the unit is being multiplied by itself three times.
For a volume of a solid why is the unit being cubed?
500
Weight is about the amount of gravity on an object while mass is the amount of matter an object has.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
500

DRAWING QUESTION
500
Mass is your numerator while volume is the denominator. when the denominator is increasing with a fixed numerator, it is creating a number smaller and smaller because bigger the denominator the bigger the number you are dividing by. something along these lines.
Explain why when your mass stays the same and volume increases the density will decrease.

What is the curved line you read on a graduated cylinder called?

g/cm3 is for density of a solid while g/mL is for density of a liquid because of the two different volume units.
