Weight Mass Volume Density
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Mass | the amount of matter or "stuff" that an object or substance contains |
Volume | the amount of space that an object occupies |
Density | the ratio or relationship between an object's mass and its volume |
Equation to find mass = | Mass = density X volume |
Equation to find volume = | Volume = mass/density |
Equation to find density = | Density = mass/volume |
Equation to find volume of a regularly shaped object = | Volume = Length X Width X Height |
Matter | anything that takes up space and can be weighed |
To find the volume of an irregular shaped object | you a graduated cylinder and use water displacement |
Weight measures the attraction between | two objects - the gravitational pull |
We use grams to measure ______ | MASS |
We use a _______ to measure weight | SCALE |

Density of water = | 1.0 g/cm3 |
Does density change if you cut an item in half? | Density never changes of the same material |
What changes if you cut an item in half? | Mass and Volume |
