Weigh it! The mass is usually found indirectly, via the weight.

Mass of rock?

Mass is measured by density multiplied by volume. In order to figure out a mass of a rock, one must know its density and its volume measurements.


What is the mass of exactly 150 gumballs?

The mass of 150 gumballs would depend on the average mass of one gumball. To find the total mass, you would multiply the mass of one gumball by 150. For example, if each gumball weighs 1 gram, then the total mass would be 150 grams.


If one thousand seeds have the mass of 200 grams how many gams does one seed have?

To find the mass of one seed, you would divide the total mass of the seeds (200 grams) by the total number of seeds (1000). Therefore, each seed would have a mass of 0.2 grams (200 grams / 1000 seeds = 0.2 grams per seed).


How would you find the mass of 1 pea?

To find the mass of 1 pea, you would typically use a scale designed for measuring small weights. Place the pea on the scale and read the measurement displayed. The value you see will represent the mass of that one pea.


Which has a greater mass a rock or plastic cup?

This is a trick question, the size of the rock and the plastic cup varies. Normally, however the rock is commonly the one with more mass.


How do you compare the densities of two rock samples?

Divide each rock's mass by its volume. The rock with the higher number is denser. To find the volume, measure the rocks in a graduated cylinder, the one that displaces more water is denser.


What is the mass of a one pound rock?

Mass is its weight ; 2.2 kilograms or 1 lb.


What are rock slides?

A rock slide is a mass of freshly broken rock material that moves by gravity in one swift movement.


Where can one find metamorphic rock?

One can find a metamorphic rock in a variety of locations. Some of the places where one can find a metamorphic rock include the base of mountains and within the Earth's crust.


How do you measure the mass of a rock?

Well, measuring the mass of a rock is a lot like creating a beautiful painting. You can use a tool called a scale to measure how much the rock weighs. Just place the rock on the scale and the numbers will tell you its mass. Remember, every rock is unique and special, just like every brushstroke on a canvas!


Why would you want to find volume of any object?

If you want to determine the density of an object, you would measure the mass and volume, then divide mass/volume to determine density. This can help determine the composition of the object. For example, if you find a rock that looks like a gold nugget. The density of gold is a known value, so one of the tests in determining if you are holding real gold would be to determine the density of your rock. This is one example. Another (maybe more 'real world' for you). Shipping and cargo companies measure the volume of packages as they go by on the conveyor belt, so that they can figure how many will fit in a particular truck.


How would you use the density formula to find the volume or mass of a sample?

You have to know two out of three ... mass, volume, density ... then you can find the missing one. If density is missing . . . Density = (mass)/(volume) If mass is missing . . . Mass = (density) x (volume) If volume is missing . . . Volume = (mass)/(density)
