Measurement Review

The measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.

• weight

• mass

• volume

• density

The measure of the amount of matter in an object.

• mass

• weight

• volume

• density

The amount of space taken up by an object or substance (liquid).

• weight

• mass

• density

• volume

The measure of how much mass is contained per unit of volume ~ how compacted the particles of matter are in an object or substance.

• weight

• mass

• density

• volume

What tool is used to measure weight?

• triple beam balance

• graduated cylinder

• spring scale

• ruler

How do you measure volume of a liquid?

• ruler

• triple beam balance

• water displacement

• graduated cylinder

How do you measure the volume of a regularly shaped solid?

• ruler or meter stick

• triple beam balance

• spring scale

• graduated cylinder

How does mass differ from weight?

• Mass changes based on gravity, weight does not

• Weight changes based on gravity, mass does not

• Mass and weight are the same thing

How can we find the density of an object?

• mass / volume

• volume / mass

• density X mass

• volume X mass

What is the unit for measuring the volume of a liquid?

• mL

• grams

• pounds

• newtons
