How can a volume of water be deteremined?
The easy way: Pour the water into a graduated container, like a graduated cylinder, and read the volume directly. The hard way: Calculate the volume of a regularly shaped container (cylindrical or rectangular). Pour the water into the container. Measure the height of the water in the container. Calculate the volume of the unfilled portion of the container. Subtract this volume from the total volume of the container.
What is the Archimedes principle of displacement?
I think it is the volume displacement. When you put an object into a container with a known volume of water, the water will rise, and that change of volume is the volume of the object you introduced into the container.
What give water shape and volume?
The shape and volume of water are determined by the container it is in. Water takes the shape of its container due to its ability to adapt to its surroundings and fill the space available. Its volume is determined by the amount of water molecules present within the container.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangle container is 2520 cubic centimetres what is the volume of water in millilitres?
volume of a rectangle container is 2520 cubic centimetres volume of water in millilitres is 2520000
How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?
Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
How do you fine the volume of a irregular object?
Put the object in a measuring container; pour in water to cover the object and measure the volume in the container; take the object out of container and measure the volume remaining. The difference is the volume of the object. If the object floats push it down until covered with water.
What would be the volume of water in a 250-mL container once the ice melts?
The volume of water will still be 250 mL once the ice melts. The ice will melt into water, but the total volume of the container will remain the same.
When a block of ice floating on water in a container melts what happens to the volume of water in the container it increases or decreases?
The volume of water in the container will remain the same. When the ice melts, it turns into water, which already displaced the same volume in the container when it was in the form of ice. So, the total volume of water in the container stays constant.
At what temperature do the combined effects of contraction and expansion produce the smallest volume of water?
Water has its smallest volume (for any given mass) at 4 degrees Celsius.
What will always take shape and volume of its container?
water. :)
How can you find your volume?
An easy and low tech way to find the volume of an object is to measure the volume of water it displaces. Fill a container that has lines for measuring volume on it with enough water to fully submerge the object whose volume you will measure, but don't fill it all the way to the top. Write down the amount of water you start with, let's say 1 liter. Now put the object you want to measure into the water carefully so that you don't splash any water out and make sure that it is fully submerged. Now write down the new volume of water in the container, let's say it now reads 2.5 liters. Subtract the original volume from the new volume to find the volume of your object: 2.5L - 1L = 1.5 liters. Another way to find the volume of an object fill a container with water to the very top of the container. Place that container of water into an empty larger container. Put the object that you want to measure into the container of water slowly so that you don't spill any more water than the object pushes out on its own. When the object is fully submerged, it should have pushed out some water into the larger container. To ensure accuracy, the level of water in the water filled container that now also contains the object to be measured should still be at the very top of the container. Carefully remove the water/object filled container from the larger container so as to not spill any more water. Carefully pour the overflowed water into a smaller measuring vessel to find the volume of your object.
How can you measure volume using displacement?
The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.
