Matter

What is matter?

• Matter is a type of energy.
• Matter is only found in solid form.
• Matter is a concept that cannot be measured.
• Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

What are the three states of matter (excluding plasma)?

• solid, liquid, steam
• gas, vapor, mist

What is mass?

• Mass is the speed of an object.
• Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
• Mass is a measure of temperature.
• Mass is the force exerted by gravity.

How is mass measured?

• Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) using balance or scales.

• Mass is measured in newtons (N) using force meters.
• Mass is measured in liters (L) using volume meters.
• Mass is measured in grams (g) using temperature gauges.

What is volume?

• Volume is the temperature of an object.
• Volume is a measure of weight.
• Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
• Volume refers to the density of a substance.

How is volume measured?

• Volume is measured in degrees or radians using a scale.

• Volume is measured in grams or kilograms using a beaker.

• Volume is measured in cubic units, such as cubic meters or liters using a graduated cylinder.

• Volume is measured in liters per second using a balance.

What is weight?

• Weight is the total volume of an object.
• Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.
• Weight is the mass of an object without gravity.
• Weight is the temperature of an object.

How is weight affected by gravity?

• Weight remains constant regardless of gravity.
• Weight decreases with stronger gravity.
• Weight is directly proportional to gravity; it increases with stronger gravity and decreases with weaker gravity.
• Weight is unaffected by gravity.

What is gravity?

• Gravity is a type of energy that powers the universe.
• Gravity is the speed at which objects fall to the ground.
• Gravity is the force that repels objects away from each other.
• Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards one another.

How does gravity affect the weight of an object on Earth and on the Moon?

• Gravity makes objects weigh less on Earth than on the Moon.
• Objects weigh the same on Earth and the Moon due to equal gravity.
• Gravity causes an object to weigh more on Earth than on the Moon due to the Moon having less gravity.

• Weight is determined solely by an object's mass, not gravity.
