6 of 21
What is mass?
The amount of matter in an object -measured in KG
7 of 21
What is weight?
a force on an object due to the pull of gravity Measured in N
8 of 21
How do you calculate the density of an object?
Mass divided by volume
9 of 21
What causes an object to float in terms of forces?
If the density of an object is less than the density of the liquid it is placed in it will float
