What is mass?

• The amount of space an object occupies

• The amount of matter in an object

Which of the following is a characteristic of a solid state of matter?

• It has a definite shape and volume

• It takes the shape of its container

• It has no definite shape or volume

• It can be easily compressed

What happens to the particles in a liquid state of matter?

• They are tightly packed and vibrate in place

• They are loosely packed and can move past each other

• They are far apart and move freely

• They are fixed in one position

Which state of matter has particles that are far apart and move freely?

How is volume measured?

• In units of mass like grams or kilograms

• In units of length like meters or centimeters

• In units of volume like liters or cubic meters

• In units of density like grams per cubic centimeter

Which of the following best describes the relationship between mass and weight?

• Mass is the same as weight

• Mass is the amount of matter, while weight is the force of gravity on that matter

• Mass is measured in liters, while weight is measured in meters

• Mass and weight are both measured in kilograms
