Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Near the surface of the Earth, two equations apply: d = m/v, dw = w/v. In space and at zero gravity, weight is not a factor; at the Earth's core, extreme gravitational forces would increase the weight as mass remained constant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
For solids and liquids, density = grams (g)/liter (L) or grams (g)/cubic centimeter (cm3). Using d = g/L, divide both sides by 1000. Density can also be expressed in mg/mL.
