Intro To Matter Vocab Flashcards
Anything that has mass or volume
Matter
The amount of matter in an object
Mass
The measure of the gravitational pull on an object
Weight
The amount of space an object takes up
Volume
The amount of mass in a given volume
Density
How do you calculate the volume of a regularly shaped object
Length times width times height
Doe your weight change if you are on another planter with different gravity? Why?
Yes because there is a different gravitational pull.
Does your mass change if you are on another planet with different gravity? Why?
No because you still have the same amount of matter.
What is the formula to find the the volume of an object using displacement?
Volume(final) minus Volume(initial) equals volume(object)
How do you find the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder
Look at the meniscus, read the mL
What 2 units can be used to express volume
cm3, mL
What is the formula for calculating density
Density= mass/ volume
What unit is used to express density
G/mL or G/cm cubed
