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 |
| What changes as you go from planet to planet? | Weight |
| What stays the same as you go from planet to planet? | Mass and Volume |
| 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 |
