Term
Mass
Definition
The amount of matter that something is made of
Term
the standard unit of measure in the metric system for liquids
Definition
liter
Term
Graduated cylinder
Definition
A cylinder use to mesure volume of a liquid or an irregular shaped object
Term
Meniscus
Definition
the curve at the liquid's surface in a gradutated cylnder.
Term
Volume
Definition
the amount of space an object takes up
Term
What is the formula to find the volume of a solid, regular, cubic object?
Definition
Length* width* height
Term
where on the triple beam balance do you look to determine the mass?
Definition
the rider location on the rider beams
Term
What do you measure mass with?
Definition
Triple beam balance
Term
what causes weight?
Definition
The amount of gravity pulling on an object
Term
if you went to the moon would your mass stay the same?
Definition
Yes
Term
As the mass of an object increases, what happens to the gravity
Definition
the gravity increases
Term
what objects have gravity?
Definition
everything with mass
Term
if you went to the moon would your weight stay the same
Definition
No, it would decrease because the moon has less gravity than the earth.
Term
a graduated cylender must be read at .......
Definition
eye level
Term
without gravity, what would happen to a book if you dropped it
Definition
it would float
Term
Matter
Definition
anything that has volume and mass
Term
Where do you measure the volume in a graduated cylinder
Definition
At the bottom of the Meniscus, looking at it at eye level.
Term
What is the equivalent solid volume unit equal to 1mL
Definition
1cm3
Term
Gravity
Definition
Force of attraction due to their masses
Term
What are the two things that affect the amount of attraction caused by gravity
Definition
1. The masses of the objects
2. The distance between the objects
Term
What are the two units typically used to measure liquid volume
Definition
Liter (L) and milliliter (mL)
Term
T/F: The mass in matter is constant
Definition
True
Term
How can an object's mass change
Definition
It can be changed by changing it's temperature. This can result in a physical change such as freezing water into ice.
Term
How do you measure the volume of a gas
Definition
If you know the volume of the container holding the gas then that is the volume of the gas.
