A penny can be used to measure for safe tread depth on your car tires. Hold the penny upside-down in a tread groove. If the top of Lincoln's head is visible above the tread wall, the tires are completely worn out, and need to be replaced, pronto.

What unit of measurement would you use to measure the thickness of a coin?

Coins are measured in millimetres.


What unit of measurement would you use to see the thickness of a coin?

Millimetres, as in 1.5 mm. You could use a micrometer to measure thickness of a coin.

Usually you would weigh it, on a device that is calibrated to show mass.


How do you experimentally determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?

Personally, what I would do would be to experimentally find a lead fishing sinker, rock, gold coin etc., which, when added to the irregular object, sinks them both. For accuracy, the object selected should be smaller than the irregular object. The smaller, the better. Then, in the usual way, find the volume of the sinker, the rock, or the gold coin alone. Write it down so I don't forget it. Finally, glue the 'ballast' to the irregular object, and measure the volume of the combination by sinking it. From the volume I find, subtract the volume of the ballast alone, and I'll have the volume of the irregular object.

When you toss a coin while traveling in a bus the coin actually comes to us and not do not travel behind us is this against the rule of inertia?

No. You, the coin, and the bus are all travelling at the same velocity. You toss the coin and it goes up and down. That is what you see from your position. If you were standing outside the bus, the coin would appear to travel in a parabola. Inertia only describes how an object is accelerated. Newton's Second law states that force = mass * acceleration. This means that it requires a force to accelerate an object. That is the perception of inertia.
