Mass, Weight and Density

This document contains a worksheet with 5 physics problems about mass, weight, density, forces, and determining volume. The problems ask the student to 1) determine if a block will float or sink, 2) state differences between mass and weight and why newtons are used to measure weight, 3) calculate weight on Earth and another planet, 4) explain the force needed to move a ball, and 5) explain how to determine the volume of an object that crashed into a pool.

WORKSHEET Name:

Mass, weight, and density


1 A block of mass 0.5 kg is dropped into a 0.1 dm3 pool containing liquid of mass 50 kg. If the
block measures 3.0 cm x 2.0 cm x 2.0 cm, determine whether the block will float or sink in the
liquid.

4 Why might it be difficult for the boy to make the ball move from its position of rest? What force
would he need to apply to cause the ball to move?

m = 15 kg

F = 80 N

g = 10 m/s2

5 A strange object from space crashed into a pool causing some of the water to splash out over
the sides. The mysterious object then fizzled away. How would you be able to determine the
volume of the object?
