Measuring in science

What is the difference between weight and mass?

• Weight depends on gravity and mass is constant
• Weight depends on density and mass depends on gravity
• Weight depends on gravity and mass depends on volume
• Mass depends on gravity and weight is constant

Which of the following units is rarely, if ever, used in science labs?

• Quart
• Centimeter
• Gram
• Millimeter

One side of a cube is 5 cm long.  What is the cube's volume?

• 125 cm3
• 5 cm3
• 15 cm3
• 25 cm3

What is always true of an object with a lot of mass?

• It contains a lot of matter
• It has a large volume
• It has a high density
• It cannot be accurately measured

Which of the following is a measurement of an object's mass?

• 10 kilograms
• 10 centimeters
• 10 newtons
• 10 grams/cm3

What is the relationship between cubic centimeters and milliliters?

• They are equivalent
• Cubic centimeters measure length, milliliters measure volume
• They are both dependent on an object's mass
• They are both unrelated to an object's density

If an object's mass is 50 g, and its volume is 10 cm3, what is its density?

• 5 g/cm3
• 500 g/cm3
• 60 g/cm3
• 40 g/cm3
