define mass
the amount of matter in an object
what is the base unit of mass
grams
kilograms (kg)=______g
1000
weight vs mass
weight has the influence of of gravity on mass
What are the steps when measuring mass using a triple beam balance
1-Zero in the scale
2-place object on the stage
3-addition, 100s+10s+1s
what is TARE
Eliminate container mass
how do you determine density
1- find the mass (grams)
2-find the volume (cm3)
What is the formula for density
density= mass (g)/ volume (cm3)
do densities less than 1 sink or float in water
float
do densities more than 1 sink or float
sink
