Weight, Mass, & Volume
It is the amount of matter that makes up an object or substance.
What is mass?
It is a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance.
What is density?
It is the upward supportive force on an object in a fluid that determines whether it sinks or floats.
What is buoyancy?
1,000 cubic centimeters of water is equal to exactly 1,000 of this metric liquid volume measurement.
What are milliliters (mL)?
This salty biological fluid famously left spots on Taylor's guitar in a hit song from her 2006 debut album.
What are teardrops?
It is the force of gravity acting on an object.
What is weight?
The formula used to calculate density is this measurement divided by volume.
What is mass?
The weight of a floating object is equal to the weight of the water that it does this to.
What is displace?
A block of solid metal will sink in water, but a boat made of the same amount of metal will float because its shape results in a very large one of these.
What is a buoyant force?
In the chorus of her Speak Now hit "Sparks Fly," Taylor asks a crush to "Drop everything now" and meet her in the "pouring" type of this weather-related fluid.
What is rain?
This term describes the amount of space an object or substance takes up.
What is volume?
Because the spaces between their particles are so large, substances in this state of matter are much less dense than liquids and solids
What are gases?
The force of gravity acts downward on a floating object, while this force acts upward.
What is the buoyant force?
Unlike most fluids that become more dense as they cool, pure water is actually at its most dense at this temperature.
What is 4°C?
In a massive 1989 track featuring Kendrick Lamar, Taylor sings that this red fluid has turned "Bad" after a falling out with a former friend.
What is blood?
If you traveled to the Moon, this measurement would change because gravity is weaker, but your mass would stay exactly the same.
What is weight?
Density is considered this type of property because it is specific to a particular substance and can be used to distinguish one material from another.
What is a characteristic property?
Because it is more dense than fresh water, this type of water provides a greater buoyant force.
What is salt water?
When water freezes into ice, its volume increases, causing this measurement to decrease.
What is density?
In a Midnights collaboration featuring Lana Del Rey, Taylor compares falling in love to the "weird but beautiful" phenomenon of this frozen fluid falling "On The Beach."
What is snow?
This method is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects by measuring how much a liquid level rises when the object is submerged.
What is "finding volume by displacement"?
These are the two common units of measurement used for expressing the density of solids and liquids.
What are g/mL and g/cm³?
These markings are painted on the side of ships to show at what level the ship will float in different types of water.
What is a Plimsoll line?
If ice did not float, our lakes would do this in the winter, killing the plants and animals living there.
What is freeze solid from the bottom up?
In the reputation track "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," Taylor sings about her party guests jumping from the balcony into this large basin of chlorinated fluid.
What is a pool?
