Mass, Matter and Volume flashcard

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is how much matter is in an object.

Front

Why does a brick sink in water while a wooden block floats?

Back

A brick sinks because it has a higher density than the wooden block.

Front

What does density measure?

Back

Density measures how heavy something is for its size.

Front

If water has a density of 1.0 g/cm³, which density will float on water?

Back

A density of 0.7 g/cm³ will float on water.

Front

If two objects have the same volume but different masses, which is more dense?

Back

The object with more mass is more dense.

Front

What is matter?

Back

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.

Front

How do you measure mass?

Back

Mass is measured using a balance scale.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if you increase its mass but keep its volume the same?

Back

The density of the object increases.
