Question

a physical property is any aspect of an item that can be _. a physical property that every object has is _. which of the following words best completes the paragraph? a. measured, mass b. changed, texture c. burned, texture d. reacted, mass maria performs an experiment by testing to see if objects sink or float in water. of the objects she tested, which ones floated in water? select all that apply. - should have more than one answer chosen. a. metal paperclip b. hollow plastic ball c. magnet d. cork

Explanation:

1. For the first question, a physical property can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity. Mass is a physical property that every object has. Burning and reacting are chemical - change processes, and while texture is a physical property, not every object has a distinct texture in the same way as mass.
2. For the second question, the density of an object compared to water determines if it floats or sinks. A hollow plastic ball and a cork have densities less than water, so they float. A metal paper - clip and a magnet are denser than water and sink.

Answer:

1. A. measured, mass
2. B. Hollow plastic ball, D. Cork
