Mass and Volume Flashcard

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, commonly measured in liters (L) or cubic meters (m^3).

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the comparison of mass to volume, defined as mass per unit volume (e.g., grams per cubic centimeter, g/cm³).

Front

What is the metric unit for measuring liquid volume?

Back

The metric unit for measuring liquid volume is the milliliter (mL).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in the object. Weight can change with gravity, but mass remains constant.

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density can be calculated using the formula: Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

The unit of measurement for mass is grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

What is an example of a solid's volume measurement?

Back

An example of a solid's volume measurement is cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What is the difference between mass and volume?

Back

Mass measures the amount of matter in an object, while volume measures the space that object occupies.

What is the formula to convert milliliters to liters?

Back

To convert milliliters to liters, divide the number of milliliters by 1000 (1 L = 1000 mL).
