Is the volume of water displaced when a golf ball is dropped in a large beaker greater than the volume of the golf ball?

Yes, but only if there is air, dust and other molecular scale debris attached to the ball. In a perfect universe, where nothing but the ball enters the water, then the volume would be exactly the same as that of the sphere.

What does the volume of displaced water equal?
It equals the mass of the object placed in it.
What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
A 15 gram solid object is dropped into agraduated cylinder containin 35 ml of water the water level rises to 45 ml mark what is the density of the solid?
the object volume is equal to the water displaced, or 10ml. Density is 15/10 = 1.5g/ml
Which has greater weight a kilogram of butter of kilogram of lead what is greater density which has greater volume?
They both weigh the same: 1kg = 1kg. The kg of butter has a greater volume and the kg of lead has a higher density.
Does a full can of soda have a greater volume than an empty one?
no....its stil lthe same volume.(:
What happens when an object is dropped into a beaker containing a liquid and then the object drops to the bottom of the beaker?
The density of the object is at least equal to, and possibly greater than, the density of the liquid in the beaker.
What instrument measures the volume of a square solid?
A ruler no a better way is by dropping the cube in a liquid containg beaker displaced liquid will give you the volume
How you find the volume of an irregularly shaped of aluminum?
The easiest way is to place the object in a graduated beaker of water, and see how much the water rises when you put it in. Archimedes Principle says that the volume of the object is the same as the water displaced from the beaker.
How and why would you use a beaker to measure the density of an object?
A beaker filled with liquid can be used to measure the volume of a non-soluble solid, or of a liquid. If the mass of the solid or liquid sample has been previously determined, the liquid (usually water) displaced from a filled beaker will provide the volume of the sample. Mass divided by volume gives the density. One of the early uses of the process was to identify counterfeit gold coins. In order to weigh the same as real gold coins, fakes would have to be thicker, and therefore have greater volume.
How do you find volume of an object by overflow can?
First pour water into the can until it overflows and drains. Next place an object into the overflow can, being careful not to spill. Place a beaker under the overflow can to collect the water that is displaced by the object. Record the volume in millimeters of the displaced water. This is the volume of the object.
Does the more displaced liquid more buoyant?
Buoyant force = volume x density x acceleration due to gravity So more the volume greater the buoyant force ___________________________________ The volume above must be volume of liquid displaced, not the volume of the object placed in the liquid.
What is volume by displacement?
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. For a small object immersed in a graduated cylinder or beaker, the volume displaced by the object can be read directly from the scale on the container.
What is a a beaker used for?
To measure volume
Box A and Box B have the same weight. If you placed each box into a beaker of water which one will displace more water?
It depends on the volume of the box. The bigger the volume, the larger amount of water that will be displaced.
What is the formula for finding the volume of a circular ring with inner and outer radius?
pi(r2)of inner minus pi(r2) of outer. multiply height= volume or you could drop it in a beaker and see how much water was displaced
How could you determine the volume occupied by a small rock?
I believe Archimedes came up with this... Fill a beaker or glass to the brim with water. Place the beaker in a bath, bowl or similar. Gently place the rock into the glass of water, allow the liquid to overflow into the bowl. The water displaced by the rock (which is now in the bowl and you can measure the volume of) is the volume of the rock. Hope this helps!
How do you get the specific gravity of a mineral?
Fill a beaker with water, and weigh it. Weigh a sample of the mineral. That's the mass of the mineral. Put the sample in the beaker and weigh that. The weight of the water-filled beaker plus the weight of the mineral sample will be greater than the weight of the beaker with mineral sample and water. The difference is the weight of the displaced water, in grams. The volume of the mineral sample, in cubic centimeters is equal to the weight of the displaced water, in grams. Calculate the specific gravity of the mineral by dividing the weight of the mineral sample by the volume of the mineral sample. Example: your beaker weighs 40 grams. Filled with water, it's 1040 grams. The sample of mineral weighs 160 grams. The beaker with the sample of mineral and water weighs 1179.7 grams. The mineral, and the beaker with water would have a combined weight of 1200 grams, but the beaker with mineral and water weighs 20.3 grams less than that, so the mineral sample is displacing 20.3 cubic centimeters of water. Given a mass of 160 grams and a volume of 2.03 CC, the specific gravity would be found by dividing 160 by 20.3. It's 7.85. (Which happens to be the specific gravity of some iron.)
