Question

which statement(s) is/are true about matter? select all that apply a matter has neither mass nor volume. b all matter has mass. c all matter has either volume or mass but not both. a parent is looking at their kids backpacks and wants to compare their masses. what is the best tool to find the mass of each bag? a beaker b ruler c graduated cylinder

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of matter

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). So, option a is false as matter has both mass and volume. Option b is true because all matter has mass. Option c is false since matter has both volume and mass.

Step2: Identify mass - measuring tool

A beaker is used to hold and measure volume of liquids. A ruler is used to measure length. A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids accurately. A balance is used to measure mass. So the best tool to find the mass of each bag is a balance.

Answer:

For the first question: b
For the second question: d (assuming the fourth option is a balance)
