What unit of measurement would be used to measure the mass of the rock?
Kilograms.
What unit of measurement would be used to measure the mass of a rock?
Kilograms.
Does a 2kg rock have twice the mass of a 1kg rock?
The basic unit of measurement for mass is the kilogram. A 2 kg rock is twice the mass of a 1 kg rock.
What is the basic unit of measurement for volume?
A rock has a volume of 89mL and a mass of 34.6g. What is the density of the rock ?
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.
How do you find density of a rock?
Density = mass / volume. Weigh the rock to find mass. To find volume, completely submerge the rock in a measuring cup partly filled with water and note the change in volume.
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
