Mass
Mass
Qn: Mass is a
(a) scalar.
(b) vector.
(a) grams
SI unit of mass is kg.
(b) kilograms
Mass
Mass is measured with a beam balance or electronic balance.
MASS
Ans: (a) Mass does not change with location because the amount of substance in a body remains
(b)
When you perspire, you lose water hence the total amount of substance in your body decreases and you have a lower mass.
(c)
When you change your position, the amount of substance remains the same hence mass does not change.
A body remains in its state of rest or motion unless it is acted by a resultant force.
Qn: Will placing heavier plates on the table cloth increase or decrease the success rate of the experiment?
reluctance to change its state of rest and will remain on its original position. Hence success rate will increase.
Egg experiment
inertia of the egg, they will remain at its rest position and not move together with the support.
inertia resist a change in motion hence they will continue to move forward even though the bus has stopped.
Gravitational Force
The force that exist between two masses is called
Gravitational Force.
and an object, when the object is dropped on earth, it will fall downwards towards the earth due to the gravitational attraction.
Gravitational Field
Gravitational field is a region in which a
that of the earths (i.e. 1.67 N/kg) because moon has a smaller mass than earth.
Weight
Weight is the gravitational force acting on a
body.
SI unit = Newton (N)
W = mg
Weight
Weight of an object is measured using a spring
Weight
Qn: If the mass of your school bag is 8 kg, what is its
weight on earth and on the moon? On earth - W = mg = 8 x 10 = 80 N On the moon W = mg = 8 x 10/6 = 13.3 N
of 200 g?
W = mg = (200/1000) x 10 = 2 N
Weight
Qn: Why is there a difference in the
persons weight on the moon and on earth although there is no change in his mass?
ANS: The moon has a smaller gravitational

Density
Density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.
SI unit = kg/m3
Other common unit = g/cm3
Density
1000 kg/m3 = 1 g/cm3
Qn: The density of iron is 7.86 g/cm3.
Density
Qn: Do you think the gold bars, gold chain and gold coin have the same density? Ans: Yes, the density of a substance is a constant that does not depend on its shape or volume.
Density
Glass has a density of 2500 kg/m3.
Density
Qn: The density blocks are
made of different materials but they have the same volume. How do you determine which block has the largest density?
Ans: Density is mass/volume
and their volume are the same, so the larger the mass, the larger the density. Measure the mass of the blocks, the block with the largest mass will have the largest density.
Density
Qn: All the rods on the right have the same mass. Which rod has the smallest density?
Ans: The longest rod has the smallest density. Density = mass / volume, since mass is constant, density will be inversely proportional to density. Hence, the smallest density rod will have the largest volume (longest rod).
Density
Qn : The density of Olive oil is 0.92 g/cm3. What is the volume of 500 g of Olive oil?
Ans: Volume = mass / density = 500 / 0.92 = 544 cm3 Qn: The mass of an empty beaker is 110 g. The total mass of the beaker is 158 g when 50 cm3 of a liquid is poured into it. What is the density of the liquid? Ans: Density = mass / volume = (158 110) / 50 = 48/50 = 0.96 g/cm3
Density
Qn: A room is 4 m long, 2.5 m wide and 2 m high. If the density of air in the room is 1.3 kg/m3, what is the mass of air in the room? Ans: Mass = density x volume = 1.3 x (4 x 2.5 x 2) = 26 kg
Density
When 2 liquids of different densities are poured
into the same container, the denser one will sink and the less dense liquid will float.
When a solid is placed in a liquid, it will float if its
density is lower than the liquids density, and it will sink if it is denser than the liquid.
Density
Qn: Why is the woman able to float in the dead sea effortlessly?
Ans: The density of dead sea is very high (due to its high salt content) and human body is less dense than the dead sea hence she is able to float in the dead sea.
Floating in dead sea
normal coke hence its density is less. Since it contains a lot of gas, its density will be smaller than that of water and will float.
