Matter
|
anything that has mass and takes up space
|
|
|
Measures mass
|
balance
|
|
|
Mass is often measured in
|
kilograms
|
|
|
How much space a sample of matter takes up is
|
Volume
|
|
|
Volume
|
are often measured in milliliters
|
|
|
Graduated cylinder, a beaker, or a measuring cup
|
often is used to measure the volume of a liquid
|
|
|
We find the volume of a regular shaped solid by
|
multiplying its height times its length times its width.
|
|
|
We measure the volume of an different shaped solid by
|
seeing how much water it displaces.
|
|
|
Matter is defined using the properties of
|
mass and volume.
|
|
|
Weight is actually the
|
force of gravity between the Earth and that object.
|
|
|
An object's mass is
|
a measure of the amount of matter in the object compared with known masses.
|
|
|
An object's weight depends on its
|
location in the universe.
|
|
|
Density of an object
|
tells us how massive something is for its size.
|
|
|
Density compares an
|
object's mass with its volume.
|
|
|
The density of a substance does not change as long as
|
conditions such as temperature do not change.
