meter is used to measure what?
length, from one point to another.
mass means what?
is the amount of matter in an object
mass is measure in what unit?
kilograms
define weight
weight is the measure of FORCE OF GRAVITY acting on an object. We use a scale to measure the weight.
Explain how weight and mass are different even thought they are related.
Mass is constant. Weight is changing. Weight changes based on the amount of gravity acting upon it. You weigh less on the moon than you do on earth.
1 kilogram =?grams
1,000 grams
1 gram =? mg
1,000mg
define volume
is the amount of space an abject takes up
what is the SI unit for measuring volume of liquid?
Liter
what is the SI unit for measuring volume of a solid?
m3
