What is the measure of the amount of matter in a given space?

Density

Front

What does the measure of the amount of space an object takes up describe?

Back

Volume

Front

Which object will sink in water: an object with a density of 1.3 g/cm³ or 0.95 g/cm³?

Back

An object with a density of 1.3 g/cm³ will sink.

Front

What does the measure of the pull of gravity on an object describe?

Back

Weight

Front

What is the first step in finding the volume of an irregular object?

Back

Put the object in a cylinder of water.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 g and a volume of 2 cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10 g / 2 cm³ = 5 g/cm³

Front

What happens to the water level when an object is submerged?

Back

The water level rises by the volume of the object.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

How do you measure the volume of an irregular object using water?

Back

Measure the initial water level, then submerge the object and measure the new water level. The difference is the volume.
