Mass, Weight & Density Flashcards
What is every object pulled toward the earth by?
Gravity
What is gravity also called?
Weight (greater the mass the greater the force on it)
What is the strength of gravity?
10 N/kg
What does 1kg equal in newtons?
10 Newtons
What is mass?
It tells us about the amount of matter the object contains
What is volume?
It tells us how much space the object takes up.
What is density?
It tells us the mass of 1cm3 of a material.
Formula for mass volume and density

What is the spacing of solid liquid and gas atoms?
Solid - close together and regular
Liquid - close together and irregular
Gas - wildly spaced
Level of kinetic energy and movement in solids liquids and gases
Solid - atoms only vibrate
Liquid - atoms have some KE energy
Gas - atoms move rapidly colliding
What is the density and structure of solids liquids and gases?
Solid - fixed structure and denser materials
Liquid - not fixed, take container shape and similar density to solid
Gas - fills the available space. Very low density
