Chemistry and Matter
Practice Test
1.
Anything that has mass and takes up space is _________.
SC.B.2.4.1
a.
pressure
b.
weight
c.
volume
d.
matter
Hint
2.
Why can an object's weight vary with location but its mass cannot?
a.
Systems of measurement vary with location.
b.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object; weight is not.
c.
Determinations of mass account for varying gravitational pulls in different locations.
d.
Weight is a measure of both mass and the effect of Earth's gravitational pull on the matter. Mass measures only the amount of matter.
