Question
- a volume
- c weight
a. how much space something takes up
b. how much matter (stuff) is in an object
c. how strongly gravity pulls on that matter
part b multiple choice
- a balloon takes up more space than a rock, but the
a) the rock has less volume
b) the balloon has less weight
c) the rock has more mass
d) both b and c
part c. short answer
- explain why your weight on earth is different from your mass stays the same.
part d. everyday examples
write one example from your daily life of:
mass:
volume:
weight:
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. A balloon taking up more space than a rock means the rock has less volume. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight on Earth is different from mass because weight depends on the gravitational pull (on Earth, weight = mass × gravitational - acceleration), while mass is an inherent property of the object and remains the same regardless of the gravitational field.

Part B: a) The rock has less volume
Part C: Weight is the force due to gravity acting on mass. On Earth, weight = mass×g (where g is the gravitational - acceleration on Earth). Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant, while weight can change depending on the gravitational field strength.
Part D:
Mass: A 1 - kilogram bag of flour
Volume: A 500 - milliliter bottle of water
Weight: The reading on a bathroom scale when a person steps on it
