Matter

Matter is defined as anything that has

• mass and volume.

• mass and density.

• weight and density.

• volume and weight.

Which describes the particles of matter in a solid?

• The particles are moving quickly and are spread far apart.

• The particles are sliding past one another inside their container.

• The particles are vibrating in place and are tightly packed together.

• The particles are bouncing off of one another and are spread far apart.

The amount of matter in an object is the

• volume.

• density.

• mass.

• matter.

If two objects both have the same mass of 36 grams, will both objects also have the same volume?

• They will always have the same volume.

• They could, but do not always have the same volume.

• They will never have the same volume.

• Mass and volume are the same property.

• 5 mL

• 20 mL

• 10 mL

• 15 mL

What describes how tightly packed the particles of matter are in an object.

• Volume

• Mass

• Weight

• Density.

What is the formula for finding density?

• Volume times mass.

• Mass divided by volume.

• Mass times density.

• Volume divided by weight.

Sally have two metal cubes. Both cubes are the same size and therefore have the same volume. The mass of cube #1 is 10 grams and the mass of cube #2 is 60 grams. What can you infer about the density of the metal cubes base on the data?

• The density of cube #1 is greater than cube #2.

• The density of cube #2 is greater than cube #1.

• The density of both cubes is the same.

• The density of both cubes is less than the density of water.
