Measuring Matter

If a substance has a large mass and a small volume, what can you conclude about it?

• It is very dense

• It will float on water

• It is made of rock or metal

• it has a low density

What is the difference between weight and mass?

• Weight depends on density and mass depends on gravity.

• Weight depends on gravity and mass depends on volume.

• Mass depends on gravity and weight is constant.

• Weight depends on gravity and mass is constant.

Which of the following units is never used in science labs?

• Centimeter

• Gram

• Quart

• Milliliter

If you wanted to measure an irregular object's volume, which of the following devices could you use?

• 
• 
• 
• 

One side of a cube is 5 cm long. What is the cube's volume? (*Remember: Volume = Length x width x height)

• 5 cubic cm

• 15 cubic cm

• 25 cubic cm

• 125 cubic cm

What is always true of an object with a lot of mass?

• It contains a lot of matter

• It has a large volume

• It has a high density

• It cannot be accurately measured.

Which of the following is a measurement of an object's mass?

• 10 centimeters

• 10 kilograms

• 10 Newtons

• 10 grams per cubic cm

What is the relationship between cubic centimeters and milliliters?

• They are equivalent

• Cubic centimeters measure length; milliliters measure volume

• They are both dependent on an object's mass

• They are both unrelated to an object's density

If an object's mass is 50 g, and its volume is 10 cubic cm, what is its density?

• 500 g/cubic cm

• 5 g/cubic cm

• 60 g/cubic cm

• 40 g/cubic cm

If an object's mass is 5 g, and its volume is 1 cubic cm, what is its density?

• 500 g/cubic cm

• 5 g/cubic cm

• 60 g/cubic cm

• 40 g/cubic cm
