Question

For each of the objects list six physical properties of the object.(Below)
Identify each property as extensive (E) or intensive (I) and describe how you know it is an intensive or extensive physical property.
Then, select one property you identified for each object and describe, in detail, how you would test that property.
For example, if you determined that a metal rod is very dense, how would you measure its density?

Objects: Iron Thinking Man, Wooden Ball, and Rubber Eraser

Answer 1

you can choose from the list what apply to each of your objects:

Physical properties of matter are categorized as either Intensive or Extensive:

Intensive - Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present.
Color
Odor
Luster - How shiny a substance is.
Malleability - The ability of a substance to be beaten into thin sheets.
Ductility - The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires.
Conductivity - The ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity.
Hardness - How easily a substance can be scratched.
Melting/Freezing Point - The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure.
Boiling Point - The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure on the liquid (generally atmospheric pressure).
Density - The mass of a substance divided by its volume


Extensive - Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present.
Mass - A measurement of the amount of matter in a object (grams).
Weight - A measurement of the gravitational force of attraction of the earth acting on an object.
Volume - A measurement of the amount of space a substance occupies.
