Problem Description:
The task involves matching each of the following properties to its definition. The properties are listed on the left, and their definitions are provided in a table format. The goal is to identify which property corresponds to each definition.
Properties:
1.
Density
2.
Volume
3.
Mass
4.
Weight
Definitions:
- The amount of matter in an object.
- The amount of space an object takes up.
- The force of gravity acting on an object.
- How tightly packed the particles in a substance are.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand Each Property
-
Density: Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It describes how tightly packed the particles in a substance are.
-
Volume: Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. It is a measure of the three-dimensional size of an object.
-
Mass: Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is a fundamental property that does not change with location.
-
Weight: Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It depends on the mass of the object and the gravitational acceleration.
#### Step 2: Match Each Property to Its Definition
1.
The amount of matter in an object:
- This definition corresponds to
Mass because mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
2.
The amount of space an object takes up:
- This definition corresponds to
Volume because volume measures the space occupied by an object.
3.
The force of gravity acting on an object:
- This definition corresponds to
Weight because weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
4.
How tightly packed the particles in a substance are:
- This definition corresponds to
Density because density describes how closely packed the particles in a substance are.
#### Final Matching:
-
Density: How tightly packed the particles in a substance are.
-
Volume: The amount of space an object takes up.
-
Mass: The amount of matter in an object.
-
Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object.
Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{Density} & \text{How tightly packed the particles in a substance are.} \\
\text{Volume} & \text{The amount of space an object takes up.} \\
\text{Mass} & \text{The amount of matter in an object.} \\
\text{Weight} & \text{The force of gravity acting on an object.} \\
\end{array}
}
\]
