Mass, Volume, and Density Test

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the measure of the amount of space an object takes up or has inside of it, typically measured in liters or milliliters.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What instrument is used to measure mass?

Back

A Triple Beam Balance or a digital scale is used to measure mass.

Front

What instrument is used to measure volume of liquids?

Back

A Graduated Cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids.

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume in liquids?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume in liquids is milliliters (mL) or liters (L).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

The unit of measurement for mass is grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

If an object has a mass of 200 grams and a volume of 50 mL, what is its density?

Back

Density = 200 g / 50 mL = 4 g/mL.

Front

What does a scale measure?

Back

A scale measures weight, which is the gravitational force acting on an object.
