What is the primary difference between mass and weight?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.
Mass changes with location, while weight remains constant.
Weight is measured in kilograms, while mass is measured in newtons.
Mass is a vector quantity, while weight is a scalar quantity.
If an object has a mass of 10 kg, what is its weight on Earth (assuming $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$)?
10 N
98 N
9.8 N
100 N
How do you calculate the density of an object?
Density = Mass × Volume
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = Volume / Mass
Density = Mass + Volume
An object has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 50 cm³. What is its density?
4 g/cm³
0.25 g/cm³
10 g/cm³
5 g/cm³
What principle explains why some objects float while others sink?
Law of Conservation of Mass
Archimedes' Principle
Pascal's Law
Newton's First Law
If an object displaces 30 mL of water when submerged, what can be inferred about its buoyancy?
It will sink.
It will float.
It is denser than water.
It is less dense than water.
Which of the following is an application of Archimedes' Principle?

What happens to the pressure in a liquid as the depth increases?
Pressure decreases
Pressure remains constant
Pressure increases

If the pressure at a certain depth in a liquid is 2000 Pa, what will be the pressure at a depth twice that?
1000 Pa
2000 Pa
4000 Pa
8000 Pa
What is the formula for calculating pressure in a liquid?
Pressure = Force / Area

Which of the following statements about gravitational force is true?
It only acts on objects in motion.
It is a force that attracts two masses towards each other.
It decreases with distance but never reaches zero.
Both B and C are true.
What is the working principle of a submarine?
It uses buoyancy to float and gravity to sink.
It relies solely on gravity to operate.
It uses a propeller to move through water.
It operates based on the principle of lift.
When a submarine wants to dive, what does it do?
It increases its buoyancy.
It decreases its weight.
It takes in water to increase its mass.
It releases air to decrease its density.
What is the effect of increasing the density of an object on its ability to float?
It will float better.
It will sink.
It will have no effect.
It will float only if it is large enough.

Which of the following best describes Archimedes' principle?
All objects float in fluids.
An object will sink if it is denser than the fluid.
Pressure in a fluid increases with depth.
An object submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
What is the primary reason ships float on water?
They are designed to be aerodynamic.
They displace a volume of water equal to their weight.
They have large sails that catch the wind.
They are made of lightweight materials.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?
Volume = Length × Width - Height
