RAQ-Measuring Mass

What is the unit of mass in the metric system?

• liters (l)

• grams (g)

• meters (m)

• seconds (s)

What device is used to measure mass in a science laboratory as mentioned in the document?

• Beaker

• Triple Beam Balance

• Graduated Cylinder

• thermometer

What does it mean when the triple beam balance is "zeroed"?

• The measurement tray is empty

• The riders are to the left on the rider beams and the pointer is at the zero mark

• The riders are to the right on the rider beams and the pointer is at the zero mark

• The measurement tray is full

Where is the 100g rider located on the triple beam balance?

• On the top rider beam

• On the front rider beam

• On the middle rider beam

• On the back rider beam

What is the first step in using a triple beam balance?

• Place the object on the measurement tray

• Slide the 100g rider

• Make sure the balance is "zeroed"

• Slide the 10g rider

How do you calculate the total mass of an object using a triple beam balance?

• Add the values of the 100g, 10g, and 1g riders

• Subtract the values of the 100g, 10g, and 1g riders

• Multiply the values of the 100g, 10g, and 1g riders

• Divide the values of the 100g, 10g, and 1g riders
