How is rotation different from revolution?
"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object
Are weight and grams the same?
Weight and gravity are not the same. Weight is calculated using F = M * A aka (Weight = Mass * 9.8) Gravity's force is calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1*m2)/d^2 F -Force G-6.67*10^-11 (search for Universal Gravitation Constant to find the units of this constant) m1- mass of object 1 m2-mass of object 2 d- distance between centers of each mass.
How are the flow of energy different to the flow of matter?
Matter refers to solid substances such as plants, animals, and nutrients. Energy refers to the chemical process that produces the fuels needed by living things to survive. Flow means looking at how these two things change around in the food chain.
Refers to a telescope's ability to make an object larger?
Magnification.
Refers to carbon-containing substance?
Organic matter
What word refers to the amount of matter in an object?
Mass refers to the amount of mass in an object.
How is the mass of an object different from its volume?
Volume is a measurement of the amount of space an object occupies. Volume is calculated by knowing the Height, Width and Length (or similar measurements). Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object. When the object is in the vicinity of another mass, an object that has more mass will weigh more.
Does density refer on how hard an object is?
No, density refers to the amount of matter that can fit into a specific volume. It is found by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume.
What does matter mean in math?
In maths matter normally refers to the mass of an object
What is the definition for mass in scientific terms?
MASS, in physics,is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it. The term should not be confused with weight.OR can be said as the property which causes the object to have inertia.The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object
How what is the volume of an object?
That refers to the amount of space inside it.
What does a trace amount refer to?
A trace amount refers to a very small amount compared to the things that have been stated.
What is volume of matter?
That refers to the amount of space it uses.
What is the term that refers to the amount of space an object takes up?
"volume"
What is the difference between mass and media?
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while media refers to the communication channels used to distribute information to a large audience, such as television, radio, and internet. Mass is a physical property, while media is a means of communication.
How do you explain to someone how much mater is in an object?
By using mass. (In physics, mass (from Greek μᾶζα "barley cake, lump (of dough)"), more specifically inertial mass, is a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to acceleration.) Essentially mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. So to explain the amount of matter in an object one would have to find the mass of an object. Mass is normally measured in grams. To measure the mass of an object on would have to weigh it with an accurate balance. Now, you might ask yourself if mass and weight are the same thing. In the vernacular it is, but to physicists it refers to the amount of gravitational force exerted upon an object.Sources:WikipediaMy memory
What occurs when the same amount of matter occupies a smaller amount of space?
mass is the quantity of material in a substance, and volume is the space occupied. The density of a material is its mass (weight) per unit volume. Grams per cubic centimetre would be an example.
