Study Notes
Mass
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- The unit for mass is grams (g).
Determining Mass
- Solid: Place the solid on a balance and record the mass.
- Liquid: Place an empty beaker on a balance, tare/zero it. Remove the beaker, add the liquid, and record the mass.
Volume
- Volume is the amount of space an object or substance takes up.
- The unit for liquid volume is milliliters (mL).
- The unit for solid volume is cubic centimeters (cm³).
Determining Volume
- Solid (Displacement Method): Fill a graduated cylinder with water, record the water level. Submerge the solid, record the new water level. The difference in water levels equals the volume of the solid.
- Liquid: Read the liquid level from the side of a graduated cylinder.
Density
- Density is the amount of mass in a certain volume, representing how tightly packed matter is.
- The unit for density is grams per milliliter (g/mL) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
- Example: Oil floats on water because oil is less dense than water.
Temperature's Effect on Density
- As temperature increases, particles move faster and farther apart.
- This increases the volume of the substance.
- Maintaining the same mass, the result is a decrease in the overall density.
- Example: Hot air balloons rise because the hot air is less dense than the surrounding cool air.
Force
- Force is anything that causes a change in the motion of an object.
- The unit for force is Newtons (N).
Balanced Force
- Balanced forces are equal forces acting in opposite directions.
- No change in motion occurs.
Unbalanced Force
- Unbalanced forces are unequal forces acting in opposite directions.
- A change in motion occurs.
Buoyancy
- Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on objects submerged or floating within a fluid.
Pressure
- Pressure is the force acting on an area.
- The unit for pressure is Pascals (Pa) or Newtons per square meter (N/m²).
Calculating Pressure
- Pressure = Force / Area
- Area = Force / Pressure
- Force = Pressure x Area
