Question 25

Density

Answer 25

mass per unit volume

Question 26

density =

Answer 26

Mass/volume

Question 27

to find the density of a liquid

Answer 27

Find the mass of the measuring cylinder by placing it on a balance, then fill it with the liquid
and measure the new mass. The difference in masses is the mass of the liquid.

The volume can be read from the cylinder and the density calculated using the equation.

Question 28

To find the density of a solid

Answer 28

Measure the mass of the solid by placing it on a balance.
If the solid is regularly shaped, measure its dimensions using a ruler or other measuring
tool and then use a mathematical formula to find the volume.
If the solid is irregularly shaped, immerse it in water and measure the volume of the water
displaced. This is the volume of the solid.
Find the density using the equation.

Question 29

Newton’s first law states that an object has a constant velocity unless acted on by a

resultant force

Question 30

Newton’s second law states that
