Matter Ch. 1

Front 1

#1Matter is anything that...

Back 1

has mass and takes up space

Front 2

#2 Properties is another name for...

Back 2

characteristics

Front 3

#3 Matter has two kinds of properties: _____________ and ___________

Back 3

general and specific

Front 4

#4 Specific properties of matter are:

Back 4

color, odor, size, shape, texture, and hardness

Front 5

#5 Specific properties of matter are important because...

Back 5

it makes it easy to tell one kind of matter from another

Front 6

#6 Some general properties of matter are:

Back 6

mass, weight, volume, and density

Front 7

#7 General properties of matter are important because....

Back 7

they help describe how all matter is the same

Front 8

#8 What is mass?

Back 8

the amount of matter in an object

Front 9

#9 Does mass depend on gravity? Does mass ever change?

Back 9

No, it doesn't depend on gravity, and the mass of something never changes (unless matter is added or taken away)

Front 10

#10 'what is inertia?

Back 10

Inertia is when an object resists changing its motion.

Front 11

#11 An object at rest __________. An object in motion _____________

Back 11

stays at rest / stays in motion (unless acted upon by an outside force

Front 12

#12 Does more mass mean an object has more inertia?

Back 12

Yes....that's why it's harder to stop something heavy (like a truck) compared to something light (like a bike)

Front 13

#13 Mass is measured in

Back 13

grams (g)

Front 14

#14 Weight depends on ________

Back 14

gravity.

Front 15

#15 I weigh less on the moon even though my mass is the same because _____

Back 15

gravity is weaker on the moon

Front 16

#16 Weight is measured in

Back 16

Newtons (N)

Front 17

#17 The force of gravity on earth is:

Back 17

9.8 Newtons

Front 18

#18 The formula for weight is:

Back 18

mass x 9.8

Front 19

#19 What is volume?

Back 19

volume is the amount of space an object takes up

Front 20

#20 What is the formula for density?

Back 20

mass / volume

Front 21

#21: What are the labels for density?

Back 21

grams / cm3

Front 22

#22 Density is a ____________ property of matter

Back 22

specific

Front 23

#23 What is the density of water?

Back 23

1g / cm3

Front 24

#24: Objects with a density of greater than 1 ________ in water. Objects with a density of less than 1 ___________ in water

Back 24

sink / float

Front 25

#25 How can oil tankers float even though they have so much mass?

Back 25

They have a high volume so the density is less than water
