Q

When heat is removed from an object, the particles move slower and closer to each other and it usually ________.

A

contracts

17
Q

Which is bigger, an object with a mass of 25g or an object with a mass of 75g?

A

You don’t know!! Just because you know the mass does not mean that you know the volume! (just because you know a person’s weight, doesn’t mean that you know their height!)

18
Q

If a 10g cube floats in water, what do you know about its density?

A

the density is less than that of water.

19
Q

The three common states of matter.

A

solid, liquid, gas

20
Q

If a 10g cube sinks in water, what do you know about its density?

A

the density is greater than that of water.

A

Solid

26
Q

State of matter where molecules can slip and slide past each other.

A

liquid
