What unit of measurement would be used to measure the mass of a rock?
Kilograms.
When you measure a rocks mass you find what?
You find a measure of the amount of matter in the rock.
How is the mass of a rock measured?
You put it on a scale or a triple-beam balance. It'll give you the mass. However, if you have the density of the rock, divide it by the volume to find the mass mathematically. You can also find the volume by the water displacement method, where you placed the rock in a graduated cylinder/beaker filled partially with water and record the difference between the original water level and the raised water level after placing the rock inside the container.
How do you find the density of a rock with the volume of 25cm3 and a mass of 100 grams?
density = mass divided by volume = 100/25 = 4 grammes per cubic centimetre.
Which set of tools will provide the most precise measurements for calculating the density of an irregulary shaped rock?
It depends on the size and mass of the rock. For a "normal" rock (as opposed to merely a stone) I suggest a crane with some means for measuring the rock's mass. A number of pulleys, each with a weighing machine should do the trick. Alternatively, you could use a weighbridge, if there is one in the vicinity. To obtain its volume, you probably need a 3-d laser-profiling device. That should give the most precise measurement of its volume.

What unit of measurement would be used to measure the mass of a rock?
Kilograms.
How one would find the mass of a rock?
Weigh it! The mass is usually found indirectly, via the weight.
How would you use your calibrated bottle to find the volume of the rock?
Place a specific amount of water in your bottle. Record the volume. Place the rock in the bottle. Read and record the new volume of water. Subtract the first volume measurement from the measurement after you added the rock. The difference is the volume of the rock.
Does a 2kg rock have twice the mass of a 1kg rock?
Yes. Kilogram is the unit of mass.
What tool do you use to find the mass of a rock?
Balanced
When you measure a rocks mass you find what?
You find a measure of the amount of matter in the rock.
Geologists would used qualitative measurement to?
- to determine the chemical nature of a rock - to determine the age of a rock by comparison
Which instrument would you use to mesure the mass of a rock?
The answer will depend on how big the rock is.
Which would have the greater mass - a rock with a volume of 1mL or a rock with a volume of 4mL?
The answer depnds on the density of each rock. If they are different denities thenthere is a chance that the 1mL rock may have more mass. If they have the same density then the 4mL rock will have more mass
How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
How can you find the density of a rock or key?
Find the mass using a scale. Find the volume by the water displacement method. Divide mass by volume and that equals density.
