Density and buoyancy Flashcards
(32 cards)
Whats Mass? Also is it constitant on your location or does it depenend on where you are
The ammount of matter in a object, consistant
What is Mass mesured in?
Grams or Kg
Whats weight?Also is it constitant on your location or does it depenend on where you are. And whats it measured in
Weight is depenedent on location, its the force of gravity acting on a object mesured in Newtons
Formula for Volume
Volume=Length x Width x Height
Whats volume?
Amount of space a object or substance takes up
Unit in SOLID volume?
SOLID: cm^3 m^3
Unit in LIQUID volume
L ( liters) or mL
How do you measure volume of a irregular shape
Submerge in water, see how much water the object displaces
Whats density?
Ammount of matter in a given volume of a substance
Formula for density
D=M/V
HOW IS DENSITY USEFULL FOR IDENTIFING OBJECTS?
ITS THE SAME FOR ALL SAMPLES OF A GIVEN SUBSTANCE
IN THE FORMULA TRIANGLE THING WHATS ON TOP, BOTTOM LEFT THEN RIGHT
M (TOP) D (LEFT) V (RIGHT)
FORMULA FOR VOLUME
M/D
FORMULA FOR MASS
M=V X D
Deffine Gravity
The natural force that causes an object to move toward the centre of the earth
does mass depened on location
NO, MASS IS THE SAME. LIKE UR MASS IS THE SAME ON THE EARTH AS ON THE MOON
does WEIGHT depened on location
NO, WEIGHT WOULD VARY, LIKE UR WEIGHT ON EARTH IS DIFFRENT THAN ON THE MOON
WHATS A HYRDROMETER
AN INSTRUMENT DESIGNED TO MESURE LIQUID DENSITY
WHATS VOLUME?
A MESUREMENT OF THE AMMOUNT OF SPACE OCCUPIED BY A SUBSTANCE
DEFFINE FLOATING
A OBJECT REMAINS SUSPENDED IN A FLUID INSTEAD OF SINKING
WHEN YOU GET IN A POOL, YOU _____________ AN AMMOUNT OF WATER EQUAL TO YOUR VOLUME
DISPLACE
WHATS FORCE
A PUSH OR A PULL, ANYTHING THAT CAN CAUSE A CHANGE IN THE MOTION OF A OBJECT
DEFFINE DENSITY
THE AMMOUNT OF MASSS IN A CERTAIN VOLUME OF A SUBSTANCE
DEFFINITION OF BUOYANCY
THE UPWARD FORCE A FLUID EXERTS ON A OBJECT
