General Properties of Matter

1-1 Matter

___________________________: What the universe is made of.

___________________________: Characteristics

4 General Properties of matter: ________________________, ________________________,

__________________________, & __________________________.

Color, odor, size, shape, texture and hardness are ________________________ properties of matter, but not all matter has them.

1-2 Mass and Weight

____________________________: The amount of matter in an object; the most important general property of matter.

____________________________: is constant unless matter is added to or removed from the object; mass does not change with the location of the object.

____________________________: The resistance of an object to changes in its motion; the more

________________________ an object has, the greater its inertia.

____________________________: Is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg); 1 kg = 1,000 g

Mass is one reason an object has ____________________________.

Weight is not constant; weight is dependent on _________________________.

____________________________: The force of attraction between objects.

The greater the ________________________ of an object, the greater its gravitational force.

Two reasons objects have weight:_______________________ & _______________________

As distance between centers of objects becomes greater, the pull of gravity between objects

becomes _______________________________.

_____________________________(N): The metric unit of weight.

An object with a mass of 1 kg is pulled to the Earth with a force of ______________ newtons.

General Properties of Matter

1-3 Volume and Density

____________________________: The amount of space an object takes up.

Liquid volume measured in ____________________(L) and ____________________(ml); 1L=1,000 ml

Solid Volume is measured in ____________________________ (cm3); 1 ml=1 cm3

_____________________________: Anything that has mass & volume.

_____________________________: The mass per unit volume of an object.

_____________________________: Mass ÷ Volume

Density is often expressed as grams per milliliter (g/ml) for _______________________ and as grams

per cubic centimeter (g/ cm3) for _____________________________.

Density of fresh water: 1g/ml; Objects with a density less than water __________________________

and objects with a density greater than water ___________________________.
