What is the definition of volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object takes up, typically measured in cubic units.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given unit of volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = mass/volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume in the metric system?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume in the metric system is liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume?

Back

Mass and volume are related through density; as density increases, for a given volume, mass increases.

Front

What is the volume of an object that has a length of 5 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 3 cm?

Back

Volume = 5 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm = 60 cm³.

Front

True or False: The density of a specific type of material never changes.

Back

True.

Front

What is the volume of water that fills a graduated cylinder to the 15 mL mark?

Back

15 mL.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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