    Which measurement would be different if you were on the Moon versus on Earth? - ProProfs

    Which measurement would be different if you were on the Moon versus on Earth?

    • Mass

    • Weight

    Correct Answer
    A. Weight
    Explanation
    The weight would be different if you were on the Moon versus on Earth. This is because weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and the strength of gravity is different on the Moon compared to Earth. The Moon has a weaker gravitational pull, so the weight of an object would be less on the Moon compared to Earth. However, the mass of an object would remain the same, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of gravity.

    What is elasticity? - ProProfs

    What is elasticity?

    • The property of a substance that enables it to change its length, volume, or shape and to recover its original form

    • The ability to be easily changed into a new shape:

    • Is the force that causes objects to float.

    Correct Answer
    A. The property of a substance that enables it to change its length, volume, or shape and to recover its original form
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the property of a substance that enables it to change its length, volume, or shape and to recover its original form. This definition accurately describes elasticity, which is the ability of a material to deform under stress and return to its original shape once the stress is removed. Elastic materials can stretch, compress, or bend and then bounce back to their original state. This property is essential in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and materials science.

    How is mass different than weight?

    • Mass and weight are not any different. They are exactly the same.

    • Mass is the amount of matter and wight is the amount of matter plus energy.

    • Mass is the amount of matter and weight is the amount of matter plus gravity.

    • ​​​​​​Mass is the amount of matter and weight is the amount of matter plus electricity.

    Correct Answer
    A. Mass is the amount of matter and weight is the amount of matter plus gravity.
    Explanation
    Mass and weight are different concepts in physics. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Mass remains constant regardless of the location, while weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity. This is why an object may weigh less on the moon compared to Earth, but its mass remains the same. Therefore, the correct answer is that mass is the amount of matter and weight is the amount of matter plus gravity.

    • The property of a substance that enables it to change its length, volume, or shape and to recover its original form

    • The ability to be easily changed into a new shape

    • Is the force that causes objects to float.

    • Any 

    Correct Answer
    A. The ability to be easily changed into a new shape
    Explanation
    Malleability refers to the ability of a substance to be easily changed into a new shape without breaking or cracking. This property allows the substance to be hammered, rolled, or pressed into thin sheets or other desired forms. It is different from the force that causes objects to float or any other unrelated concept.

    You are given a mystery object in science class. Your teacher asks you to determine if your object is more or less dense than water. You place the object in the water and it sinks. What statement would best describe this situation? - ProProfs

    You are given a mystery object in science class. Your teacher asks you to determine if your object is more or less dense than water. You place the object in the water and it sinks. What statement would best describe this situation?

    • Water is denser than the mystery substance.

    • They both have the same mass.

    • The mystery object must be less dense

    • The mystery object is denser than water.

    Correct Answer
    A. The mystery object is denser than water.
    Explanation
    The fact that the mystery object sinks in water indicates that it is denser than water. Objects with higher density than the liquid they are placed in will sink, while objects with lower density will float. Since the mystery object sinks, it means that its density is greater than that of water.

    • Mass divided by volume

    • ​​​​​​Volume multiplied by mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Mass divided by volume
    Explanation
    Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. Therefore, the correct answer is "Mass divided by volume."

    What is buoyancy? - ProProfs

    What is buoyancy?

    • The property of a substance that enables it to change its length, volume, or shape and to recover its original form

    • The ability to be easily changed into a new shape:

    • Is the force that causes objects to float.

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Is the force that causes objects to float.
    Explanation
    Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float. When an object is placed in a fluid, such as water or air, it experiences an upward force called buoyancy. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, it will float. If the buoyant force is less than the weight of the object, it will sink. Therefore, buoyancy is the force that determines whether an object will float or sink in a fluid.

    • 100 g/cm3

    • 900 g/cm3

    Correct Answer
    A.  9 g/cm3
    Explanation
    The density of a substance is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass of the metal is given as 90 g and the volume is given as 10 cm3. By dividing the mass (90 g) by the volume (10 cm3), we get a density of 9 g/cm3.

    A 48-gram metal bar was placed in water.  The initial water level was 80 ml.  The final volume was 86 ml.  What are the volume of the bar and its density?

    • ​​​​​​​Volume= 6 ml, density= 180 g/ml

    • ​​​​​​​Volume = 6 ml, density= 0 g/ml

    • Volume= 6 ml, density= 8 g/ml

    • ​​​​​​​Volume= 6 ml, density = 54 g/ml

    Correct Answer
    A. Volume= 6 ml, density= 8 g/ml
    Explanation
    When the metal bar is placed in water, it displaces a certain volume of water equal to its own volume. In this case, the initial volume of water was 80 ml and the final volume was 86 ml, so the volume of the bar is 86 ml - 80 ml = 6 ml. To find the density of the bar, we can use the formula density = mass/volume. Since the mass of the bar is given as 48 grams and the volume is 6 ml, the density is 48 g/6 ml = 8 g/ml. Therefore, the correct answer is Volume= 6 ml, density= 8 g/ml.
