Structure and Properties of Matter Lesson 1

Everything that has mass is _______.

• a solid
• matter
• buoyant
• weight

The amount of matter in an object is its ___________.

• weight
• volume
• mass
• buoyancy

The amount of space an object takes up is its _____________.

• volume
• weight
• density
• mass

The measure of gravity pulling on an object is its ____________.

• weight
• density
• volume
• mass

The ability of an object to float in a liquid such as water it ______________.

• conductivity
• density
• buoyancy
• flexibility

A measure of how closely packed an object's particles are is _____________.

• mass
• density
• weight
• volume

The density of an object can be found by dividing its mass by its volume.

• True
• False

How are mass and weight  related?

• Greater mass means less weight.
• They are not related at all
• Greater mass usually means greater weight.

Which of the following statements is true?

• A marble has more mass than a ping pong ball so it has greater volume.
• A ping pong ball has greater voume than a small marble, but less mass.
• A golf ball and a ping pong ball have similar volumes, so they must have similar masses.

Which of the following statements is true?

• An object with a density greater than the liquid in which it is placed will sink.
• An object with a density greater than the liquid in which it is placed will float.
• An object with a density less than the liquid in which it is placed will sink.
