Name three reasons why we would need to use a model to help us understand something instead of the real thing?

Size, dangerous, in the past, in the future, too expensive, etc.

Density describes the relationship between ____ and ____.

Mass and volume

400

Explain the difference between mass and weight.

Mass is a measurement of the amount of atoms that make up an object.  Mass does not change when you go from earth to the moon.  Weight is a measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  Weight will change when you go from the earth to the moon.
