Density review

The measure of the amount of matter in an object is known as:

• volume

• mass

• density

• weight

The measure of the amount of space an object takes up (occupies) is known as:

• volume

• mass

• density

• weight

The measure of the amount of mass in a given space (how tightly packed the particles are in an object) is known as:

• volume

• mass

• density

• weight

The units of measurement when finding MASS are:

• Newtons (N)

• cubic centimeters (cm3)

• milliliters (mL)

• grams (g)

A student needs to find the MASS of an object. What piece of equipment should she use?

• a ruler

• a triple beam balance

• a meter stick

• a graduated cylinder

You need to find the VOLUME of a box. What tool do you use to find the length, width, and height of the box?

• a ruler

• a triple beam balance

• a graduated cylinder

• a spring scale

What is the formula for finding the volume of a box after using a ruler to measure it?

• V = L + W + H

• V = L - W - H

• V = L x W x H

• V = (L x W) + H

To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object (like a rock), you need to use the water displacement method. What tool do you use for this?

• a ruler

• a triple beam balance

• a graduated cylinder

• a spring scale

When using a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of liquids, what units of measurement do you use?

• grams (g)

• milliliters (mL)

• Newtons (N)

• kilograms (kg)

Which of the following are the units of measurement for density?

• g/cm3

• mL

• L

• cm3/g
