Density, Volume, Mass Flashcards
Triple Beam Balance
instrument used to measure mass
graduated cylinder
instrument used to measure liquid volume, liters or milliliters
metric ruler
instrument used to measure the volume of a rectangular solud
Length x Width x Height
formula for rectangular solid volume
gram (g) or Kilogram (Kg), milligrams
metric unit used to record mass
cm^3 or m^3
metric unit used to record volume of a solid
milliLiter (mL) or Liter (L)
metric unit used to record volume of a liquid
Displacement
procedure for determining volume of irregular objects
mass
the amount of matter in an object
gram
1/1000 of a kilogram, unit used when measuring mass.
weight
A measure of the force of gravity acting on an object
pan
It is where you place the object on the triple beam balance
beams
What the riders of a triple beam balance slide on
riders
The “weights” used to measure the mass that slide on the beams
pointer
Lines up with the scale to measure the mass of an object.
adjustment knob
Helps to adjust the pointer to the scale on the balance
density
amount of mass in a given space
density equation
mass/volume
units of density for liquids
g/mL
units of density for solids
g/cm^3
density of water
1.0 g/mL
objects less dense than 1.0 g/mL…
float
objects more dense than 1.0 g/mL..
sink
what is the unit for weight
Newtons (N)
What are the factors that affect density?
- Size of the atoms
- Mass of the atoms
- Arrangement of the atoms
If converting a smaller unit to a larger unit you should:
divide or move the decimal to the left
if converting a larger unit to a smaller unit you should:
multiply or move the decimal to the right.
