| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Measurement | P=m/v |
| Two systems of measurement | 1. US Customary/Impirical -Only in USA 2. Metric system (SI) |
| length(width, height) | Metric base unit is meter -millimeter =1/1000 of meter -centimeter =1/100 of meter -meter -kilometer =1000 meters |
| Mass/weight | -weight depends on gravity -spring scale pulled by gravity |
| Mass | Amount of matter -does not depend on gravity -basic unit gram -milligram= 1/1000th of gram -Gram -kilogram = 1000 grams |
| balance | -start all riders on zero -move riders largest to smallest -add up the riders |
| Volume | Amount of space taken up -basic unit – liter (only for liquid liquids) 1ml-liquids 1cm3-solid/gas |
| Graduated cylinder | -meniscus – bottom of the curve |
| Rectangular or cubic shaped | -length X width, X height |
| Density | Measure of the mass of a material in a given volume Formula: density= mass\volume |
| Density formula | -d=m/v -m=d x v -v= m/d |
| Density determines sink/float | Ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water |
