activity 5.3
description
How full is the bag that you take to each of your classes? Can you put any more stuff into it? What happens to the size of the bag? What happens to the mass of the bag? The size of the bag likely stayed the same, though the bag itself is probably about to burst open. When the volume of something stays the same while the mass increases, then the density increases.
In this activity you will measure volume and mass to determine the density of several objects.
In this activity you will measure volume and mass to determine the density of several objects.
conclusion
How can you use density to identify a material?
Each material has a specific density, pending on size, shape, exc.
What are limitations of the calculated and indirect volume measurement?
Calculated can be done without measuring anything, while indirect requires measurement with a cylinder.
Explain the difference between weight and mass.
Mass is the amount of matter is in something, and weight is how heavy matter is depending on the gravitational circumstances.
