Volume, Mass, Weight Unit Flashcard

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object. It changes based on the object's location in a gravitational field.

Front

Does weight change?

Back

Yes, weight can change depending on the strength of the gravitational pull.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change regardless of location.

Front

How do you measure mass?

Back

Mass is measured using a triple beam balance or a digital scale.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.

Front

How can you find the volume of a regular-shaped object?

Back

Volume can be calculated using the formula: length x width x height.

Front

When would you use water displacement to find volume?

Back

Water displacement is used to find the volume of irregular objects.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

Back

Volume of a cube = side length x side length x side length.

Front

What tool is used to measure volume?

Back

A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure the volume of liquids.

Front

What happens to weight on the Moon compared to Earth?

Back

Weight is less on the Moon due to its weaker gravitational pull.
