Volume and Mass Concepts

Front

What is volume?

Back

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

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, often expressed in g/cm³ or g/mL.

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

Common units for volume include cubic centimeters (cm³) and milliliters (mL).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

Common units for mass include grams (g) and kilograms (kg).

Front

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

Back

Density = mass/volume = 10g/2cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to the water level in a graduated cylinder when an object is submerged?

Back

The water level rises by the volume of the object submerged.

Front

What is the formula to find the change in volume?

Back

Change in volume = new volume - old volume.

Front

If a gel pen has a mass of 8g and a volume of 2cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 8g/2cm³ = 4 g/cm³.
