| Mass - grams, kg | amount of matter in an object |
| triple beam balance, pan balance, spring scale | measure mass |
| volume - mL, cm3 | amount of space a substance occupies |
| ruler, beaker | measures volume |
| density - g/mL or g/cm3 | Mass of an object by it's given volume |
| weight - newtons, pounds | measure of a pull of gravity |
| scale | measures weight |
| metric system based on | units of measurement |
| gravity | attractive force between objects |
| changes as you move from one planet to another | weight |
| always stays the same | mass |
| v = l x w x h | volume of a solid formula |
| d = m/v | formula for density |
| definition for displacement | water is displaced |
| if object's volume is reduced | density of the object will change |
| one centimeter = | one mL |
| force which all matter exerts on all other matter | gravity |
| the more mass | the stronger the pull of its gravity |
| weight of an object depends on | its mass and how far away it is from earth's center |
| mass core of object doesn't change due to location | but weight changes |
| solid ice floats on liquid water | because ice is less dense than water |
| as water freezes | the molecules spread apart |
