1. Determine which of the following is heavier than the other. Discuss why you think it is heavier than the other.
a) 1kg of sand or 1kg of wool
Both will be the same. Both are 1kg in mass.
b) 1 cup of sand or 1 cup of wool
Sand will weigh more than wool. Sand is a denser material than wool, therefore it will be heavier in mass.
c) 1 cup of sand or 1 cup of cold drink
Sand will be heavier. Sand is denser than cold drink.
d)500g of margarine or 500g of leaves
Both will be the same. Both are 500g in mass.
2. Complete by stating the unit in which the following is measured:
a) A car is measured in kilograms
b)A truck is measured in kilograms or tons
c) A person is measured in kilograms
d)A bottle of jam is measured in grams
3. Estimate the answer of these objects:
a) A new-born baby any mass between 1 and 4 kg will suffice
b)A 12-year old boy any mass between 20 and 40 kilograms will suffice
c) A 12-year old girl any mass between 20 and 40 kilograms will suffice
d)A R5-coin any mass between 40 and 60 grams will suffice
4.Complete:
a) 1kg = 1 000 g
c) 7 2 kg = 7 500 g
