Question | Answer |
---|---|
what is mass? | all the matter or particles that are in the object |
what tool is needed to measure mass? | balance |
mass is measured in what unit? | grams |
what is volume? | the space the object takes up or occupies |
how is volume measured with a ruler? | length x width x height |
how is volume measured in a graduated cylinder? | displacement |
what is displacement? | the water level rises because an object is dropped in |
why does displacement happen? | two objects can not be in the same space at the same time |
what is density? | a comparison of how many particles are in a space |
what does density indicate about the object? | How the particles are arranged |
if the shape of the object is changed to make it float, what is changed? | the volume |
if the amount of particles in the object is changed to make it float what is changed? | the mass |
what two measurements are needed to find density? | mass and volume |
objects with a big density ... | sink |
objects with a small density ... | float |
big density | object sinks, particles are tightly packed |
small density | object floats, particles are loosely packed |
