Term
what do a human, hot soup, and a neon sign all have in common?
Definition
we are all made of matter
Term
matter is
Definition
anything that has volume and mass
Term
when measuring using a graduated cylinder you use the what?
Definition
meniscus
Term
what is the volume of solid objects expressed in?
Definition
cubic units
Term
one milliliter is equal to how many cm3
Definition
one
Term
what is the formula for volume of a solid object
Definition
length x width x height
Term
how do you measure the volume of gas?
Definition
a gas expands to filll a container. if you know the olume of the container the gas is in, you know the volume of the gas.
Term
why does all matter experience gravity
Definition
all matter has mass
Term
when does the force of gravity between to objects increase?
Definition
when the objects get closer
Term
why does a brick weigh less in space than it does on earth?
Definition
there is less gravatational pull in space than on earth.

what is the unit of weight
Definition
a newton
Term
what is the unit for volume
Definition
liters, mililiters, cubiic centimeters
Term
whats the unit for density
Definition
cm3/ml
Term
define mass
Definition
the amount of matter in an object
Term
whats the unit for mass
Definition
grams
Term
name the metric units in order from largest to littlest
Definition
k h d x d c m
Term
what is mass measured with
Definition
the triple beam balace
Term
on cm3 of water has a mass of one gram and one degree?
Definition
twenty degrees c
Term
whats the formula for weight
Definition
mass x the force of gravity
Term
define weight
Definition
the measure of the force of gravity on an objects mass
Term
depending where you are in the universe, ?
Definition
the force of gravity changes
Term
whats the gravity on eath?
Definition
9.8
Term
define volume
Definition
the amount of space something takes up
Term
how do you measure volume
Definition
graduated cylinder, ruler,m x g
Term
define density
Definition
the mass per unit volume of an object.
the amount of matter in a certain space
how close particles of matter are paced togheter
Term
density formula
Definition
d=m/v
Term
how can we use density to help us
Definition
it can identify and distinquish one kind of matter from another
Term
what is weight measured with
Definition
a spring scale
Term
does mass stay the same anywhere?
Definition
yuuppp it sure does(:
Term
when does weight change
Definition
when gravity changes
Term
what can density be used for
Definition
to identify what matter is.

whatever that means?
Term
if you had 50 ml of water and 50 ml of oil which would have more mass?why
Definition
water because it has more matter + the particles are closer together.
Term
if you had 200 grams of oil and 200 grams of water, would you have more oil or water? why
Definition
oil because the particles are spread apart more than the water. therefore, it takes up more space.
Term
if you have a small amount of steel and a large amount of steel wil they have the same density? why/whynot?
Definition
yes because density stays the same.
Term
how do you know if an object will sink or float?
Definition
if the volume is larger than the mas it will float. if the volume is smaller than the mass it wil sink.
