Weight and Mass / Measuring Mass and Volume

What is the attraction between two objects due to the invisible force of gravity? The gravitational pull from the Moon is primarily responsible for the tides that form on Earth.

• Gravitational Pull

• Cubic Centimeter, cm³

What is the comparison of the density of one material as it relates to another? Frequently, the comparison is to the density of water (as in sinking or floating).

• Relative Density

• Weight

• Displacement

• Milliliter, mL

What is the difference between weight and mass?

• Weight is the measure of the amount of matter in an object, while mass is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.

• Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.

• Weight and mass are synonymous terms and can be used interchangeably.

• Mass is a scalar quantity, and weight is a vector quantity indicating the direction of the force applied to an object.

On a planet that has a different gravitational pull than Earth, does the weight or mass of the object change?

• Both weight and mass change.

• Weight changes, but mass remains constant.

• Mass changes, but weight remains constant.

• Neither weight nor mass changes.

How is density used to describe matter?

• Density is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

• Density is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.

• Density is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume.

• Density is a measure of the weight of an object.
