What is Matter

1
What is Matter?
2
Matter

• Anything that has mass and takes up space.
• Volume
• Amount of space occupied by an object
• Matter cannot share the same space at the same
  time

3
Liquid Volume

• Measured in Liters (L) and Milliliters (mL).
• Use a graduated cylinder to measure volume
• Meniscus
• Curve at a liquids surface
• Measure to the bottom of the meniscus

4
Volume of Regularly Shaped Solid Object

• Expressed in cubic units.
• Cubic meters (m³) and Cubic centimeters (cm³)
• Cube
• Volume length x width x height

5
Volume of Irregularly Shaped Solid Object

• Measure through the displacement of water.
• Amount of water displaced by an object is to
  its volume
• 1mL is equal to 1cm³

6
Difference Between Mass and Weight

• Mass
• Amount of matter in an object
• Mass of an object is the same no matter where the
  object is located in the universe.
• Weight
• Measure of the gravitational force exerted on an
  object
• The more mass an object has the greater the
  gravitational force, therefore the greater the
  weight.
• Weight can change based on location in the
  universe

7
Measuring Mass and Weight

• Mass is measured in Kilograms (kg), grams (g),
  and milligrams (mg).
• Weight is measured in Newtons (N)
• 1 Newton is to about 100g
• Pounds/ounces

8
Inertia

• The tendency of an object to resist a change in
  motion.
• An object at rest will remain at rest until
  something causes an object to move
• A moving object will keep moving at the same
  speed and direction until acted upon by an
  outside force

9
Mass The Measure of Inertia

• Mass is the measure of inertia
• An object with more mass is harder to get moving
  and to stop then an object with less mass.
• The larger the object the greater the inertia.
