1. Would you use the spring balance of a graduated cylinder to measure liquid? Explain.
Procure a container which is large enough to accommodate your liquid, and which will not be dissolved or attacked by it. use a container with a lid to minimize interaction between the liquid and the environment, such as the evaporation of volatile liquids. Place the empty container on the triple beam balance and mass the container in the usual way.
2. Would you use a thermometer or a triple beam balance to compare the mass of two mineral samples?
triple beam balance
3. What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.
4. Why is a hypothesis important in performing a scientific experiment.
5. Why is it important to collect accurate data in an investigation?
1. You would use a graduated cylinder, which can hold and (accurately) measure liquids, unlike the spring balance which is used for weighing, and cannot hold liquids. also liquids are measured in volume, not weight.
2. You would use a triple beam balance. (thermometers are used for measuring temperature.)
3. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, but weight is how much gravity pulls down on that matter. The mass of an object will never change, but, depending on gravitational pull, weight can change (more pull=more weight).
Would you use a thermometer or a triple beam balance to compare the mass of two mineral samples? Yes you would use a triple beam ballance to campare the mass of the two chemicals.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
The difference between mass and weight is one is measured with a triple beam ballance and the other is measured with a scale.
Why is it important to collect accurate data in an investigation?
The reason to collect accurate data is because if you dont your you will usually get the experiment messed up.
2) Would you use a thermometer or a triple beam balance to compare the mass of two mineral samples?
You would use a triple beam balance to measure mass.
4) Why is a hypothesis important in performing a scientific experiment?
a hypothesis is important because it’s the thing you are testing. if ou didn’t have on you could not experiment.
5. Why is it important to collect accurate data in an investigation?
It’s important because if you collected the wrong data it could be very hazardous.
1. Graduated cylinder because a graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid
2. Triple beam balance
3. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter an object has and weight is the measure of strength gravity pulls the object
1. No you would not.
2. You would use a triple beam balance to compare mass of two minerals, thermometers are used to measure temperature.
3. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, weight is the amount of gravity exerted on an object.
4. A hypothesis is important in starting an experiment and helping those working on the experiment focused on what the experiment is meant for.
5. If the data collected in an experiment is inaccurate, then the whole experiment can be thrown off messing up the whole experiment.
1. Would you use the spring balance of a graduated cylinder to measure liquid? A graduated cylinder, it has accurate markings.
2. Would you use a thermometer or a triple beam balance to compare the mass of two mineral samples? triple beam balance.
3. What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.
1. Would you use the spring balance of a graduated cylinder to measure liquid? Explain.
Yes. You are also measuring the mass of the liquid inside you just need to steady it and make sure its flat. The cylinder will push down and show the weight.
2. Would you use a thermometer or a triple beam balance to compare the mass of two mineral samples?
Triple Beam balance
3. What is the difference between mass and weight?
Weight is the measure of gravitational pull and mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass always stays the same but weight varies.
4. Why is a hypothesis important in performing a scientific experiment.
You gather knowledge and see what you know about it. That way you have something to either prove right or wrong.
5. Why is it important to collect accurate data in an investigation?
If you don’t you aren’t giving the accurate result of an experiment which can cause many things to be untrue.
1. you would use a graduated cylinder because it is a cylider that holds liquid while a spring scale is a scale for solids.
2.you would use a triple beam balance becasue it is a scale that measures mass and weight not how hot or cold comething is.
3.mass is the amount of matter an object has and doesnt change while weight is the gravitational force on an object that changes with the gravity.
4.A hypothesis is important because it shows what you will be testing in an experiment.
5.its important becasue without accurate data your results will turn out wrong.
1.YOu would use a graduated cylinder to measure the liquid because a sping balance is use to measure weight and the graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid.
2.You would use a triple beam balance to measure two mineral samples.
3.Mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object.
4. a hypothesis is important because you have to have something to prove or disprove in an experiment.
2.) you would use a triple beam balance to measure the mass.
3.) mass would be like the stuff that is on the inside being weighed and weight is like the total weight
4.) it is important to make a hypothesis because you will have too have something to look back on when you have finished your experiment.
1.)no, the spring balance is used to measure weight and force.
2.) triple beam balance, a thermomenter is used to measure temperature
3.)mass is the measure of the amount of matter an object has while weight is the measure of how much gravity attracts an object to earth.
4.) the educational guess might give you a better understanding for what you are doing or trying to do.
5.)because if the data is data is not accurare the whole experiment could go wrong
3. The difference between mass and weight is mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object . Weight is the measure of the amount of gravitational force that is applied to an object .
4. A hypothesis is important in a scientific experiment, one because it is in the scientific method,which are steps to follow during an experiment,and two because a hypothesis is an educated guess and you want to know what might happen.
5. It is important to collect accurate data during an investigation because that is when exact,important,major information is needed because the investigators are looking for the right answer and you can’t find the right answer without accurate data.
1YOu would use a a graduated cylinder to measure liquid because thats its main purpose.
2 You would use a triple beam balance because it measures mass while a thermometer measures liquid.
3 Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is gravitys affect on matter.
