    This document contains a sample exam with 10 multiple choice questions about physical science concepts related to mass, weight, volume, and density. It reviews key definitions such as mass being a measure of matter in an object, weight being a measure of gravitational pull, and density being calculated by dividing mass by volume. It also provides the formulas and processes for calculating volume of regular and irregular solids, and explains how to determine if an object will float or sink based on its density compared to the liquid.
