∙ 14y agoA shoe box filled with Golf balls would have better porosity than if it was filled with sand because the spaces between the golf balls are larger and more open compared to the small, tightly packed grains of sand. This allows for more air and water to flow through the golf balls, creating better drainage and aeration.
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.

It would depend on the size of the tennis balls, but assuming a standard 2.63 cubic inches per ball, you would need approximately 122,321 tennis balls to fill 106.6 cubic feet.
You just stack them ontop of eachother, except more carefully that it would with 3 balls
That would be called a "hobnail glass plate." These plates are known for their decorative raised bumps or balls around the edge which resemble hobnails.
You can always buy them online, or at least at most tourist beaches. That's because water filled balls are common to use in the sand. (I would imagine)
No, soccer balls are filled with ordinary air If they were filled with helium, they would float into the skyHelium filled soccer balls would certainly not "fly into the sky"! The difference in mass of an air filled ball and one filled with helium would be but a few grams! But the helium (having a much smaller molecule than those that comprise air) would leak out of the bladder more quickly. In addition Helium is much more expensive than compressed air.
They would be way too heavy if you fill them with water.
Porosity, or empty space may used in fields like ceramics, pharmaceutics, manufacturing, engineering, and soil mechanics. Each field has different scenarios when porosity would be used.
A variation in aggregate side (well graded) allows the concrete to be more dense, which means less voids, which allows for stronger concrete. Think of it this way. If you had a two rooms, and you filled one with just basketballs and the other with beach balls, then basket balls, then baseballs, then golf balls, then bee bees which would you think would be filled more. The one with the varying sized balls.

Sandstone generally has the greatest porosity among rocks due to its high content of interconnected pores. This is why sandstone is commonly used as an underground reservoir for oil and natural gas.
No, sedimentary rocks generally have higher porosity than metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which can leave pore spaces between grains. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, have been subjected to heat and pressure, which can close up or reduce the pore spaces, leading to lower porosity.

Sedimentary rocks are composed of clasts or grains that have been pressed together. The gaps or spaces between these grains are known as pores or pore spaces. As such Porosity is a measurement of the volume of pore space compared to the total volume of the rock and is usually expressed as a percentage. As such a rock that has a high porosity has a very large amount of pore space compared to its total volume. For example a rock with a porosity of 50% would essentially be composed of 5o% solid material and 50% empty space (whcih may in turn be filled with fluid or gas or a mixture of the two.
