chapter 1 Flashcards
Anything that has mass and takes up space
matter
the amount of space taken up or occupied by an object is its ___
volume
the curve at the surface of a liquid
meniscus
how do you find the volume of a regularly shaped object
volume = length x width x height
How do you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object
Measure water, add object, measure again. Find the difference - that is the objects volume
the amount of matter in an object
mass
the measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
weight
the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
inertia
a granulated cylinder is used to measure
volume
the volume of a solid is measured in
cubic centimeters
mass is measured in

explain the relationship between mass and inertia
An object with more mass has more inertia. It is harder to get moving and harder to stop
a ______ property can be observed or measured without changing the matters identity
physical
the rate at which a substance transfers heat
thermal conductivity

state
the mass per unit volume of a substance
density
the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance
solubility
the ability of a substance to be pulled into wire
ductility
the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets
malleability
changing from a solid to a liquid is a ____ change
physical
