What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, usually measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

How can you measure the volume of an irregular object?

Back

You can measure the volume of an irregular object by using the water displacement method. This involves submerging the object in a known volume of water and measuring the change in water level.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What property of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water?

Back

An object's density determines whether it will float or sink in water. If the density is less than that of water, it will float; if greater, it will sink.

Front

What is a solid?

Back

A solid is a state of matter that has a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed together.

Front

What is a liquid?

Back

A liquid is a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, with particles that are close together but can move past one another.

Front

What is a gas?

Back

A gas is a state of matter that has no definite shape or volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume?

Back

The relationship between mass and volume is described by the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. This means that density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.

Front

What is the importance of measuring volume in science?

Back

Measuring volume is important in science because it helps determine the amount of space an object occupies, which is essential for experiments, calculations, and understanding properties of materials.
