How do you get the volume of a rectangular prism if length is not given?
You cannot calculate it without the length. However, it is possible to get the volume by submerging the prism in water and measuring the volume of the displaced water.
Unit for measuring the volume of sound?
Decibels are the scale used for measuring the volume of sounds.
What is the purpose of measuring volume of an area?
to measure volume the object must be three dimensional. the purpose of measuring the volume of an area is to know its capacity
What if the volume of a cube with sides measuring 3cm?
Its volume is 27cm3
Is measuring length x width x height the best method for measuring volume?
Only if that volume is contained in a rectangular prism.
Boyles law possible sources of errors?
Boyle's Law relates gas pressure (P) to volume (V) by the equation P1V1 = P2V2. There are two sources of errors to experimentally and theoretically applying Boyle. The first is based on instrumentation, which include operator errors and certainty problems when measuring P and V. The second is from calculations, specifically user errors.
Pictures and uses of laboratory equipments?
Beaker - measuring volume of the solution Measuring cylinder - measuring volume
How do you get the volume of a rectangular prism if length is not given?

Is a measuring cylinder is used for volume?
Yes, a measuring cylinder is used for measuring volume. It is called a graduated cylinder
How is volume determined?
By measuring it in a measuring cylinder or beaker or some container of a known volume.
Unit for measuring the volume of sound?
Decibels are the scale used for measuring the volume of sounds.
Can a liquid measuring cup be used to measure solids?
Only if the solid is in the form of a fine powder. Alternatively, if the solid is small and you have a liquid in which it is not soluble, then it is possible to employ the displacement method to measure its volume.
What is being measured when looking at the net change in displacement of the potato samples?
The net change in displacement of the potato samples is measuring the overall movement or shift in position of the potatoes. It indicates the total distance and direction that the potatoes have moved from their initial position to their final position.
How is liquid volume determined?
By measuring it in a measuring cylinder or beaker or some container of a known volume.
What instrument is used is measure volume?
Measuring Pipette is for small amount of volume only.Graduated Cylindrers is for measuring large amount of volume.
How do people measure volume?
Of a solid, measuring the quantity of fluid displaced by the object should suffice. Of a liquid, measuring its volume with a measuring cylinder or similar. Of a gas, measuring its mass or volume under conditions of standardized temperature and pressure
Explain How the process of measuring a liquid's volume differs from the process of measuring a solid volume?
the size of its head
