How many meters are in one kilometer?
1000 m = 1 km
This is a variable (often denoted on the x-axis of a graph) whose variation does not depend on that of another.
Independent Variable
Convert 400 μm to cm.
0.04 cm
How many milliliters are in one liter?
1000 mL = 1 L
This is a variable (often denoted on the y-axis of a graph) whose value depends on that of another.
Dependent Variable
Calculate the volume of the rectangle.
384 cm3
How many micrometers are in one meter?
106 μm = 1 m
This is a proposed explanation that can be tested by recording more observations or experiments.
Hypothesis
Convert 30°F to K.
272 K
List the steps of the scientific method in order?
Question, hypothesis, experiment, data, conclusion, graph
This is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container.
Volume
A student places a rock with a mass of 64.0 g into a graduated cylinder with 150 mL of water. Once the rock was dropped into the graduated cylinder, the water level rose to 180 mL. What is the rock's density? Include the correct units.
ρ= 2.13 g/cm3
Difference between weight and mass.
Mass: Total amount of matter, or "stuff," in an object
Weight: force of gravity on an object
This is the upward movement of water in a container when an object is submerged in it, caused by the object occupying space and "pushing" the water out of the way.
Water Displacement
A student places a steel bolt with a density of 7.85g/cm³ into a graduated cylinder with 150 mL of water. Once the bolt was dropped into the graduated cylinder, the water level rose to 180 mL. Calculate the mass of the bolt. Include proper units.
235.5 g
