• polarity
• water curve
• hypothesis
• meniscus

What is the volume of the liquid in this graduated cylinder?

• 19 mL 
• 35 mL 
• 24 mL 
• 1.9 mL

This method can be used to accurately measure the volume of irregular shaped objects by measuring the volume of water displaced when the object is submerged

• water boarding

• water bath

• water displacement

• water cannon

Steven finds the volume of a graduated cylinder with a penny in it. The volume was 43 mL. If the volume before the penny was added was 38 mL. Then what is the volume displacement?

• 4 mL

• 4

• 5

• 5 mL

What is the difference between mass and weight? Select ALL correct answers.

• More the mass lesser will be the weight

• Weight and mass are same

• Weight is affected by gravity but mass isn't.

• Weight is a force but mass is not.

An object weighs 30 N on Earth. Another object weighs 30 N on the Moon. Which object has more mass?

• The one on Earth

• The one on the Moon.

• They both have the same mass.

• This cannot be determined since the mass changes with location.

What is the proper way to find the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?

• 2 x (height x length x width)

• (volume of water + object) - (volume of water)

• weight ÷ gravity

• length x width x height
