Mass, Weight, Volume, & Density

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

density = mass / volume

Front

What is the volume of an irregular shaped object if the initial volume in a graduated cylinder is 50mL and the final volume is 75mL?

Back

25mL

Front

What method uses water to measure the volume of an object?

Back

water displacement

Front

Which statement is true?

Back

Mass never changes. Weight does.

Front

How do you find the volume of an irregular shaped object?

Back

Water displacement

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the unit of density?

Back

Common units of density include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

How does gravity affect weight?

Back

Weight changes with the strength of the gravitational field; it is greater on planets with stronger gravity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, weight increases.
