Weight and Mass / Measuring Mass and Volume

What is the attraction between two objects due to the invisible force of gravity; the gravitational pull from the Moon is primarily responsible for the tides that form on Earth

• Gravitational Pull

• Cubic Centimeter, cm³

• Gram, g

• Relative Density

What is the heaviness of an object; force of gravity on mass = weight?

• Weight

• Displacement

• Milliliter, mL

• Gravitational Pull

What is a metric unit of volume equal to a milliliter?

• Cubic Centimeter, cm³

• Gram, g

• Relative Density

• Weight

What is a procedure used to measure the volume of a solid object by placing it in a known amount of liquid and finding the difference in the liquid volume measurements before and after?

• Displacement

• Milliliter, mL

• Gravitational Pull

• Cubic Centimeter, cm³

What is a basic metric unit of mass?

• Gram, g

• Relative Density

• Weight

• Displacement

What is a metric unit of measurement used to measure small volumes of liquid?

• Milliliter, mL

• Gravitational Pull

• Cubic Centimeter, cm³

• Gram, g

What is the comparison of the density of one material as it relates to another; frequently, the comparison is to the density of water (as in sinking or floating)?

• Relative Density

• Weight

• Displacement

• Milliliter, mL

• What is the difference between weight and mass?

• Mass changes with location; weight stays the same

• Weight is the amount of matter; mass is the force of gravity

• Mass is constant; weight depends on gravity

• Weight is measured in grams; mass is measured in newtons

• On a planet that has a different gravitational pull than Earth, does the weight or mass of the object change?

• Only the mass changes

• Only the weight changes

• Both mass and weight stay the same

• Both mass and weight change

• How is density used to describe matter?

• It shows how fast an object moves through space

• It tells how much matter is in a certain volume

• It measures the weight of an object in water

• It compares the size of different elements
