Measurement Flashcards
How do you find mass?
- By using a Triple beam balance
- Metric unit is grams
How do you find density?
- Density= mass/volume
- unit= g/cm^3
How do you use a metric ruler?
- use centimeters
- line up the ruler to the object at zero
- no fractions
- measure to nearest tenths
How do you find volume?
- amt. of space an object takes up
- v=lwh *= multiplication
- cm^3 (unit)
How do you compare density?
-density of water (h2o)is 1.0g/cm^3
-object more than 1.0g/cm^3 = sink
-obj less than 1.0g/cm^3 = float
-% in water= density
Ex:50% in h2o = 0.5g/cm^3
- if you change the shape of an object the density is still the same
