What is the volume of the fish?

• 18.0 ml

• 6.0 ml

• 38.0 ml

What is mass?

• The amount of matter an object has.

• The force of gravity pulling down on you.

• A large number of objects crowded together

The density of an object compared to the density of another object (will it sink or float?)

• physical properties

• volume

• matter

• relative density

The balls have the same ​ (a)   ,

but the baseball has more ​ (b)   ,

So, the ​ ​ (c)   has more density.

• volume

• mass

• baseball

• rubber ball
