Mass,Density And Weight Flashcards
Gravity on earth is equal to?
Mass times ten
What is the equation for weight?
W=mg
What is the alternate unit for g?
g = 10N/Kg or 10m/s2
Density is defined as and its units are:
Density = mass
Volume
g/cm3
Kg/m3
Volume =
Pie r2h
How do you measure the density of irregular shaped objects?
- measure known volume of H2O in graduated
- put in object, measure new volume
- subtract original volume from new volume
- measure the mass
- calculate D = M/V
- repeat
What is the arrangement of particles in:
Solids
Liquids
Gases
They have various degrees of freedom.
Solids are very closely packed together
Liquids are closely packed together
Gases have many degrees of freedom.
