b. Based on the observations, what can you conclude about the main nutrient present in egg white?
9. Read the text and answer the questions about mass and weight.
A. Fundamental quantities can be used to derive other quantities.
Which is NOT a fundamental quantity—mass or weight? Give a reason for your answer.
B. Convert the given mass of objects into its SI unit.
(Note: 1 gram = th
1
1000 of a kilogram; 1 tonne = 1000 times of a kilogram;
1 quintal = 100 times of a kilogram)
Object Mass of the object in SI unit
A 2000 grams brick
A 2 tonnes wooden log

Mass is the amount of matter that any given object contains. The SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg). The weight of an object is different from its mass. The weight of an object is a product of its mass and the gravity acting on it.
