1. Properties of Matter

2. Matter is anything that has mass and volume. 1
Matter is anything that has mass and volume. 1. Mass is the amount of matter an object has. 2. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
Question: Will an inflated balloon weigh more, less, or the same as the same balloon deflated?
Make a hypothesis, then test it.
Obtain the mass of a balloon, then inflate it, and then obtain the new mass.

3. Mass vs. Weight Amount of matter Use a balance Kg
Doesn’t change with location
Pull of gravity
Use a scale
Newton
Does change with location

4. Which has more mass? A) 1 kilogram of feathers B) 1 kilogram of bricks
They are the same!
1 kg = 1 kg

5. Which takes up more space
Which takes up more space? A) 1 kilogram of feathers B) 1 kilogram of bricks
The Feathers

6. Measure matter by finding the density!
Which has the greater density? A) steel bar B) steel paper clip
The density of steel is the same! Size doesn’t matter!

7. Density of Steel
steel bar

8. Units for Density Metric Units: Solid: g/cm3 Liquid: g/mL
Density of water is 1g/mL (at 4º C)
Memorize
This!

9. Ice! Because it is less dense.
Which one floats? Why?
Density of Water: g/mL
Density of Ice: g/mL
Ice! Because it is less dense.

10. Which of the following will float on water
Which of the following will float on water? Why is it good to know the density?
Density
helps you
identify a substance
All those less
than 1.0 g/mL

11. Predict the correct “floating order” of the substances as they would appear in the “Density Column”.
Density g/cm3
Copper
8.8
Corn oil
0.925
Corn syrup
1.38
Glycerin
1.26
Mercury
13.6
Plastic
0.93
Rubber
1.34
Tar
1.02
Water
1.00
Wood
0.7

12. Calculating Density m D v Obtain mass using a balance.
Obtain volume by any of these methods.
Ruler: Volume = L x W x H
Graduated cylinder: water displacement
D = m/v m = D x v v = m/D m
“Magic Triangle”  D v

13. Is the bar really gold or fool’s gold
Is the bar really gold or fool’s gold? Find the density of the bar if the mass is g and the dimensions are 3.5 cm by 3.5 cm by 8.0 cm.
Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm3
V = L x W x H
D = m/v
g / 98 cm3
= 19.3 g/cm3 Yes it’s gold! m D v

14. Is this liquid water, alcohol, or kerosene
Is this liquid water, alcohol, or kerosene? Find the density of the liquid if the mass is g? Water g/mL Alcohol g/mL Kerosene 0.82 g/mL
Read the volume 
D = m/v
16.98 g / 21.5 mL
= 0.79 g/mL It is alcohol! m D v

15. Is the “Silver Surfer” really made of silver
Is the “Silver Surfer” really made of silver? We obtained a sample with a mass of g. Platinum 21.5 g/cm3 Silver 10.5 g/cm3 Tin 7.3 g/cm3
Find the volume by water displacement.
D = m/v
= g / 25 cm3
= 10.5 g/cm3 It is Silver! m d v

16. What is the volume in mL of this syrup if it has a density of 0
What is the volume in mL of this syrup if it has a density of 0.63 g/mL and a mass of 78 g?
v = m/D
= 78g ÷ 0.63 g/mL
= mL m D v

17. What is the mass in grams of this lead pipe if it has a density of 11
What is the mass in grams of this lead pipe if it has a density of 11.4 g/cm3 and a volume of 55 cm3?
m = D x v
= 11.4 g/cm3 x 55 cm3
= 627 g m D v

18. is the tendency for a less dense
Buoyancy
is the tendency for a less dense
substance to float in a
more dense substance.
Boats are made so that they have a lower density than water.

19. Click on picture for demo.
Buoyant Force
The upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid is called the “buoyant force”.

20. Draw a vector to show the buoyant force (up) and the weight force (down).
Weight Force (Gravity)
Which liquid exerts a greater buoyant force on the block?
Blue or Clear?
Buoyant Force
Blue (greater)

21. When will an object sink or float?
Weight Force > Buoyant Force
Density of object > density of fluid
Float
Weight Force < Buoyant Force
Density of object < density of fluid
(greater than)
(less than)

22. Archimedes Principle
The buoyant force exerted on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
It explains:
the buoyancy of ships
the rise of a balloon in the air
the loss of weight of objects underwater.

2 N

23. Archimedes’ Principle Practice:
Rock weighs 2.25 N
In water, the rock weighs 1.8 N
The water displaced by the rock:
2.25N – 1.8 N = 0.45 N.
So, the buoyant force exerted on the rock is 0.45 N.
0.45 N

24. Do all fluids exert the same buoyant force on an object?
Which liquid exerts a greater buoyant force?
Mercury

25. Buoyancy and Fluid How do Submarines work?

26. Buoyancy and Gases Why do hot air balloons float?
A balloon will float when the weight of the balloon is less than the weight of the volume of air displaced.
Air in the balloon is heated to make it less dense than the surrounding air.

27. The beach ball and the basketball each contain the same amount of air.
Which has the greater amount of pressure and why?
The basketball has greater pressure than the beach ball because it has less volume causing the air particles to have less space.
