What else can I help you with?
How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as rock?
You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, like a rock, by using the water displacement method. Submerge the object in a known volume of water in a container. Measure the increase in water level, which equals the volume of the rock.
Finding the volume of a solid when would water displacement be helpful?
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a known volume of water in a container, note the initial water level, then submerge the object in the water and measure the new water level. The difference in water levels is the volume of the object.
What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the displacement method.
How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
How would you find the density of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock?
To find the density of an irregularly shaped object like a rock, you can use the water displacement method. First, measure the volume of water displaced when the rock is submerged in a known volume of water. Then, divide the mass of the rock by the volume of water displaced to calculate the density.
How could you use a fish tank to find of volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Using a graduated beaker, add water sufficent to totally immerse the object. Note the initial volume of the water without the object.
What are helpful hints for finding the volume of irregularly shaped objects?
break it up into pieces you know how to find the volume of
How do you use the displacement method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Half fill a graduated glass beaker with water and note the level. Place irregularly shaped object into the beaker. Note the new level. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the object. cw: OK, that method works for objects that don't get wet -- like steel. Tissue paper would not be a good candidate. Also, if the object floats, you have to submerge the object.
What is volume displacement?
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. The difference between the before and after levels of the liquid is the volume of an immersed object.
Explain why the metgod of displacement is used to find volume?
The method of displacement is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects by measuring the volume of water displaced when the object is submerged in a container of water. This is because the volume of water displaced by the object is equal to the volume of the object itself, allowing for an accurate volume measurement.
How you find the volume of an irregularly shaped of aluminum?
The easiest way is to place the object in a graduated beaker of water, and see how much the water rises when you put it in. Archimedes Principle says that the volume of the object is the same as the water displaced from the beaker.
