Get ready to test yourself on density (a property of matter.)

Multiple Choice

What is density?

• The heaviness of an object; force of gravity on mass = weight

• a measure of how much matter is present in a substance

• The amount of matter in a given space or volume

• Something heavy or light

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for density?

• density = mass times volume

• density = mass divided by volume

• density = volume x weight

• density = weight divided by volume

Multiple Choice

What is the unit of measurement for density?

• milligrams/gramsft3

• mm/cm3

• grams/cm3

• d = m/v

Multiple Choice

What is volume?

• The weight of an object.

• The amount of mass and weight of an object.

• The amount of space matter takes up.

• The density of an object.

​Volume

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for the volume of a regular object?

• Final water level minus initial water level

• length x width x height

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for the volume of an irregular object?

• final water level minus initial water level

• length x width x height

Multiple Choice

What is the unit of measurement for the volume of a regular object?

• cm3

• cm

• mL3

• mL

Multiple Choice

What is the unit of measurement of the volume of an irregular object?

• mL3

• mL

• cm

• cm3

Multiple Select

What are two methods of measurement a scientist may use to measure the volume of an object?

• water displacement

• using a ruler

• using a calculator

• using a pencil

Multiple Choice

What is water displacement?

• moving water to make sure the water is moving

• d= 1/2KE

• A procedure used to measure the volume of a solid object by placing it in a known amount of liquid and finding the difference in the liquid volume measurements before and after
