How is a solids volume measured?
For finding volume you can use water displacement. Get a amount of water (make sure you know what number and how much) and drop your item in the water. The water should have risen. The difference of the Displaced water and the starting water should get you your volume.e.g. 16 mL of water, you drop a marble, the water is now 18 mL. So the volume of the marble is 2 mL.
What is the volume of 100 ml of water when it become a cube?
The volume is still 100 ml: the shape does not affect the volume.
Explain how you find the volume of a marble using displacement?
You take a graduated cylinder,or anything you can measure water in, and put water in it. You drop the marble in and the change in water height is your volume. For example if the cylinder is filled up to 10ml and after you drop in the marble it goes to 15ml then the marble has a volume of 5ml cubed.
How do you measure the marble?
What do you want to measure about the marble? Its diameter, radius, circumference, volume, mass, density...?
When a marble is dropped in a bucket of water it sinks to the bottom. Is it because the marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water or the marble has greater mass volume than the water O?
All of the above? You can say the same thing in many ways. All of the following are different ways of saying the same thing, and all are correct: The marble sinks because the marble weighs more that an equivalent volume of water. The marble sinks because its density is greater than the density of water. The marble sinks because it has a greater mass than than same volume of water (and there is gravity/acceleration).
