Question

the volume of the aquarium is 375,000 cm³ (cubic centimeters).
the base unit for measuring volume is the liter (l). 1 l is equal to 1,000 milliliters (ml) or 0.001 cubic meters (m³) or 1,000 cm³.
scientists can measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects by using a graduated cylinder. look at these pictures. the water has a volume of 25 ml. the rock is then placed into the water. the water rises to 50 ml. to find the volume of the rock, subtract 25 ml from 50 ml, or 50 ml - 25 ml = 25 ml. the volume of the rock is 25 ml.
choose the best answers.
1.9) ____ how does mass differ from volume?
a. mass is the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space the object occupies.
b. mass is the amount of space an object occupies, while volume is the amount of matter in an object.
c. mass and volume are the same thing.
d. mass is a physical property and volume is not.
1.10) __ __ can sometimes describe the height of an object.
a. density b. mass c. length
1.11) __ the base unit for length in the metric system is the __.
a. gram b. meter c. liter
1.12) __ the __ of an object is how much space an object takes up on a flat surface.
a. area b. mass c. length

Explanation:

• 1.9: Mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space an object occupies. Option A correctly states this. Option B reverses the definitions. Option C is incorrect as mass and volume are different physical properties. Option D is wrong because both mass and volume are physical properties.
• 1.10: Length can be used to describe the height of an object (height is a type of length measurement). Density is mass per unit volume, mass is the amount of matter, so they don't describe height.
• 1.11: In the metric system, the base unit for length is the meter. Gram is the base unit for mass, liter for volume.
• 1.12: Area is the amount of space an object takes up on a flat surface. Mass is the amount of matter, length is a one - dimensional measurement.

Answer:

1.9) A. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space the object occupies.
1.10) C. Length
1.11) B. meter
1.12) A. area
