VOLUME
The unit used to measure liquid volume.
What is the milliliter (mL)?
The tool used to measure mass.
What is a digital/electronic balance?
Density is useful because we can calculate if an object will ___________ or ______________ in a given substance.
What is sink or float?
The amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
This formula calculates density.
What is mass/volume?
The tool used to find the volume of an irregular object.
What is a graduated cylinder?
The unit used to measure mass.
What is a gram?
True or False: An object that floats in water is less dense than water.
What is true?
The amount of space that an object takes up, or occupies?
What is volume?
What are the tools used to measure length?
What is a meter stick or a metric ruler?
The volume of an object, if the water is at 71mL in a graduated cylinder then rises to 86mL.
What is 15mL?
What is the first thing you need to do when you use a digital/electronic balance?
What is tare?
The density of an object with a mass of 40g and a volume of 8mL.
What is 5 g/mL?
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
The method for finding the volume of an irregular object.
What is water displacement?
When you increase the volume of an object but keep the mass constant, the density changes.
What is decreases?
When you increase the mass of an object but keep the volume constant, the density changes.
What is increases?
The location of the densest liquid in a density column (think about the investigation with oil and alcohol in the same beaker).
What is the bottom?
How compact the atoms are in a substance/object.
What is density?
The characteristic of an object that will never change as the object travels from Earth to the Moon.
a) weight
b) mass
What is mass (b)?
The curved surface seen when you measure the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder.
What is the meniscus?
True or False: The mass of an object is equal to its weight.
What is false?
What will happen to the density of an object if it is cut in half?
What is 'remain the same'?
The measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object; its values can change with the location of the object in the universe (think you on the Earth, Moon or Mars)?
What is weight?
What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of brick?
Trick question, their masses are the same, their densities are different.
