How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?
If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.
If an object floats the volume of the displacement water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
What is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time?
The displacement of an object is its Volume.
What is it called when finding the volume of an irregular object?
displacement
What is the name of the method of finding the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
"displacement volume"
How do you get the volume of an regular and irregular object?
Water displacement.
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.
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a regular shaped object as well as an irregular shaped object?
Yes
When do you need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula?
You need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula when the object is not a regular solid. It could be an object like a pen where the height, weight, and length can't be easily measured, or a liquid.

How does displacement work?
Water displacement works by calculating the volume of water displaced by submerging an object. This volume corresponds to the volume of the object that was submerged.
What do you use to measure the vlume of a solid?
The method for determining the volume of a solid depends on its shape. The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder, sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape. Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object.
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 can you determine from an irregular shaped object by its displacement?
The volume of the object.
How do you get the volume of irregular object?
== == Water Displacement
What can the volume of an irregular object be measured by?
The volume of an irregular object can most accurately be determined by its displacement in water. Fill a container to the brim, and stand it in a tub of some description. When you submerge the irregular object, the quantity of water displaced (ie. overflowing into the tub) will be equal to the volume of the object. The accuracy of this method will be determined by your ability to measure the quantity of water and the purity of it (pure H20 being ideal). This was first discovered by Archimedes, who used the displacement of water to ensure the kings crown was solid gold.
How do you calculate the volume of a regular?
For a regular object you measure the three dimensions of an object - length, width and height. After measuring each of these you then multiply them all together which leaves you with the volume of your object. Alternately, you could use a different way of calculating volume: displacement. Put x amount of water in a container with measurement markers on the sides. Then add the object. Subtract the final measurement from the original measurement and you will have the volume of the object.
