Question 10

The metric system

Answer 10

System of measurement based on the number 10

Question 11

International system of units

Answer 11

A version of the metric system used by modern scientists.
It’s used to measure length volume mass density temperature and time.
Using SI units as the standard system of measurement allows scientists to compare data and communicate with each other about their results.

Question 12

Length

Answer 12

The distance from one point to another.

The basic unit of length is the meter

Question 13

Mass

Answer 13

A measure of the amount of matter in object contains

The basic unit of mass is the kilogram

Question 14

Weight

Answer 14

A measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.

Question 15

Volume

Answer 15

The amount of space and object takes up

= Length x width x height

Question 16

Density

Answer 16

A measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume

= mass/volume

because density is actually made up of two men other measurements mass and volume an objects density is expressed as a combination of two units
G/cm3 and g/mL
