What is the volume of a rock that displaces 1500mL of water?
1,500 mL
A rock displaces 1500ml of water what is the volume of the rock?
1 ml is equal to 1 cubic centmeter so 1,500 multiplyed by 1 is 1,500 so it is 1,500 cubic grams 1 ml=1cm3 1,500 ml=1,500 cm3
How do I find the volume of a rock?
Irregularly shaped objects have no formula for finding the volume. So, to find the volume of a rock, one method is to measure how much water the rock displaces. You simply need some sort of container that measures the volume of liquids and you need some water. The container should be large enough to put the rock in. First, fill the container to a certain volume, noting what that volume is and making sure that enough water is used to completely cover the rock when you put the rock in the container. Next place the rock into the container and measure the new volume indicated by the water. Subtract this new volume with the old volume, and the answer will be the volume of the rock. Another method is to use the rock's mass and density to calculate the volume. This can be tougher because you might not know what type of rock you have and many rocks are composites of different types of rocks. Some internet websites give the densities of different rocks. The website http://www.earthsci.unimelb.edu.au/ES304/MODULES/GRAV/NOTES/densities.html gives some simple densities. But if you have all this information, the volume can be determined by measuring the mass of the rock and dividing that number by the density.
How can you find the volume of a small rock using only water and either a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder?
Fill the cylinder with water to a marked point. Then place the rock in the water and measure how much the water level rises. That will give you the amount of volume displaced by the rock and so the volume of the rock.
How could you figure out the volume of an irregular solid such as a rock?
Fill a bowl of water that is bigger than the rock right to the top, add the rock, collect and measure the volume of how much water is spilt. Provide the rock is not porous or very soluble this will provide the volume of the rock.
What is the volume of a rock that displaces 1500mL of water?
1,500 mL
What would you do to determine the volume of a rock?
You would determine the volume of water it displaces and measure it.
When a rock is placed in a container full of water it displaces 250ml of water The mass of the rock is 5.63 times the mass of the water what is the volume and mass of the rock?
The volume of the rock is the amount of water it displaces, 250ml. Considering that 1ml of water has a mass of 1 mg, the mass of the rock is 5.63 x 250gm = 1,407.5mg.
Why does a rock sitting in water have more volume?
When a rock is submerged in water, the water fills the space around the rock, causing the total volume to increase. This increase in volume is due to the displacement of water by the rock, resulting in the combination of the rock's original volume plus the volume of water it displaces.
How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
increase, as the rock displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. This causes the water level to rise in the graduated cylinder.
If a stone displaces 45 ml of water what is it's volume?
It turns out that 1 ml of water is 1 cc of water, so the rock will have a volume of 45 cc.
what is the volume of a rock that displaces 5mL of water in a graduated cylinder?
5ml (i.e. 5 cubic centimetres)
A rock has a mass of 127grams and displaces 32.1 mL of water What is the density of the rock?
The density of the rock can be calculated by dividing the mass of the rock (127g) by the volume of water it displaces (32.1 mL). The density of the rock is 3.95 g/mL.
Best way to measure the vplume of irregularly sharpe rock?
To measure the volume of irregularly shaped rocks, you can use the water displacement method. Submerge the rock in a container of water and measure the change in water volume as the rock displaces the water. The difference in water volume before and after submerging the rock will give you the volume of the rock.
How would you find volume of a solid such as a rock?
Get container with measurement markings. (Let's say 20 Liters.) Fill it up to about 10 Liters (It doesn't matter, just make sure it won't overflow) with water. Place the rock into the water, and record the difference (let's say the water rises to 11.4 Liters, you know that the volume of the rock is now 1.4 Liters)
How do you figure out the weight of a rock?
You could weigh it. You can also determine its density by comparing it to an equal volume of water, but first you would have to determine how much water it displaces to determine its volume.
