Matter (Phys. Sci. Honors)

the amount of matter an object/substance is made of

• density

• mass

• volume

can be calculated by formula or measured in a graduated cylinder

• density

• mass

• volume

the amount of space an object/substance takes up

• density

• mass

• volume

the amount of matter in a given space

• density

• mass

• volume

indicates how closely packed the particles are in a substance

• density

• mass

• volume

is independent of sample size (amount)

• density

• mass

• volume

determines whether objects sink or float

• density

• mass

• volume

is influenced by the pull of gravity

• mass

• weight

does not vary depending on location in the universe

• mass

• weight

Objects that are MORE dense than the fluid they are placed in will...

• sink

• float
