Air takes up _______
Correct Answer
spaceExplanation
Air takes up space because it is composed of molecules that have mass and volume. These molecules are constantly moving and colliding with each other and with the walls of their container, exerting pressure. This pressure is a result of the space occupied by the air molecules. Therefore, air takes up space just like any other matter, even though it may not be visible to the naked eye.Rate this question:

Solid, liquid and gas
Correct Answer
D. Solid, liquid and gasExplanation
The three types of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume, with tightly packed particles. Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, with particles that are close together but can move past each other. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.Rate this question:

A. How much matter is in a objectExplanation
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It represents the total number of atoms and molecules present in the object. Mass is independent of the object's location and is typically measured in kilograms. It is different from weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.Rate this question:

A. MatterExplanation
Properties are characteristics or qualities that help us describe and identify different things. In this case, the answer "matter" is correct because matter is one of the things that can be described and categorized using properties. Matter refers to anything that occupies space and has mass, so it can include a wide range of substances and objects, including basketballs. Therefore, matter is a suitable answer for describing the properties mentioned in the question.Rate this question:

- A.
Hammer
- B.
Ruler measuring cup balance
- C.
Screwdriver
Correct Answer
B. Ruler measuring cup balanceExplanation
We can use a ruler to measure the length or size of solid objects. A measuring cup is used to measure the volume of liquids or granular substances. A balance is used to measure the weight or mass of an object. These three tools are commonly used to measure matter in different ways.Rate this question:
