What is the equivalence of 1 mL?
What is 1 centimeter cubed.

What instrument is used to measure force or weight?
What is a spring scale.

What is the maximum mass of our triple beam balances.
What is 610 grams.
200
Convert 65.8 km to meters.
What is 65800 meters.
300
Why does diet pepsi/coke float in water, while regular sinks?
What is because it has no added sugar, therefore less mass, and hence less density.
300
What is the definition of temperature?
What is a measure of the motion of molecules.
300
Why is the metric system easier to use than the US customary system?
What is because it uses factors of 10.
300
Describe a scenario where the pointer on a triple beam balance would be below the "zero" mark.
What is when you put a mass on the beams that exceeds the mass of the object being measured.
300
Convert 2 mL to kL
What is .000002 kL
400
How would you find the density of an irregular solid?
What is use displacement method to find volume then a balance to find mass.
400
Why do force and weight have the same base unit, and what is it?
What is the Newton. Because weight is a form of force (gravitational force)
400
What is another name for the metric system?
What is SI system Le Système international d'unités (International System of Units)
400
What causes a meniscus?
What is attraction of water molecules to the sides of the container it is in.
400
Convert 80 ounces to pounds (16 oz in one pound) using dimensional analysis.
What is 5 pounds.
500
Using your knowledge of density, why do you think a large steel ship or vessel is able to float no water?
What is The reason is that a good portion of the interior of any boat is air (unlike a cube of steel, which is solid steel throughout). So there is a large volume with not much mass from the air.
500
Why is the base metric unit for solid volume the meter cubed?
What is What is because the formula for regular solid volume is length x width x height, the base unit for length is the meter so m x m x m is meters cubed.
500
What is the difference between mass and weight?
What is mass is the amount of matter in an object while weight is a measure of gravitational pull on your mass.
500
Why may holding a spring scale at its center affect its reading?
What is because you are giving it an upward support against gravity.

Convert 12 km/hr to feet per second.
What is 10.9 ft/s.
