Marbles are considered spheres, and there's a mathematical rule to define the random close-packing of spheres in a confined space. Basically:

  • Calculate the volume of a single marble (using the formula Vmarble= 4/3πr3 to determine the volume of the sphere from its radius, which is half its diameter).
  • Then calculate the internal volume of the jar, using the formula Vjar= πr2h for calculating the volume of a cylinder.
  • Divide Vjar by Vmarble; then multiply by .6, as this represents how much of the space inside the jar is (probably) filled with marbles. In other words, N ≈ .6 (Vjar/Vmarble). (Obviously, N then needs to be rounded off to the nearest whole number.)

Or if this is too much work, you can try counting the number of marbles at the bottom (or at the top), and then counting the number of rows there appear to be. Either way, good luck.

What makes magic marbles absorb water?

Magic marbles are designed to absorb water due to the material they are made of, such as a superabsorbent polymer. When water comes into contact with the marbles, the polymer chains in the material expand and create a gel-like substance that traps and holds the water within the marble. This results in the magic marbles swelling in size as they absorb more water.

What are the key findings from the conservation of momentum lab with marbles?

The key findings from the conservation of momentum lab with marbles show that momentum is conserved in collisions between marbles. This means that the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. This principle holds true regardless of the type of collision, whether it is elastic or inelastic.

How many marbles fit in a pint size mason jar?

A pint-sized mason jar typically holds about 16 fluid ounces. Given that a standard marble has a diameter of about 1.2 centimeters, you can fit approximately 30 to 40 marbles in a pint jar, depending on how tightly they are packed. The exact number may vary based on the size and shape of the marbles used.
