Explain how you would find the volume of an object such as a paper clip?

The easiest way to find the volume of irregular objects is to use water displacement Fill a beaker or other container with water and place the paper clip in the water. The amount the water level rises is the volume of the paper clip. Of course because a paper clip is so small you would either need to use highly accurate measuring devices or place enough paperclips in the water that there is a noticeable change in water level. you would then divide the change in water level by the number of paperclips you put in to get the average volume of a single paper clip.

What is the formula for find the volume of an object?
You can measure the volume by filling a container (the best option would be an accurate measuring cilinder) with water. Note how much water is in the container, now immerse the object you want to measure in the water and once more note how much water is in the container. The difference between your second measurement and the first is the total volume of the object. Another way would be to weigh the object and then calculate its volume via its density Density=mass/volume so volume=mass/density. This method only works if your know the density of the object. A third way would be to simply measure the dimensions of the object and mathematically calculate the volume (e.g. a cube would be length*width*height).
Will density change if you split an object?
ANSWER:No. The mass will be halved but the density will remain the same. ___________________________________________________________The density will remain the same since the formula for density of an object is mass/volume. When you split and object, the mass is divided by 2, and the volume is divided by 2 (or whatever fraction you want to cut your item). If you would, compare mass/volume=mass divided by 2/volume divided by 2.
What is true of the mass and volume of the floating object?
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
How would you explain a reserch process?
A research process a series of steps right from the development of an idea to the finished paper.
What instrument measures the volume of an irregular object?
If you submerge the object in a volumetrically-labeled beaker, the volume of water displaced (how much the water rises when the object is submerged), is the volume of the object.Either a graduated cylinder or overflow can is used to measure the volume of an irregular solid by water displacement.
What is the desnity of an object that has a mass 350 g and a volume of 95 cm's 3 Would this object float in water Explain?
It would sink because the object is more dense than the water.
What is the density of an object that has a mass of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm3 would this object float in water explain?
Density is calculated as Mass / Volume. Therefore for an object that has a mass of 350 grams and a volume of 95 cm^3, the density would be 3.684 g/cm^3. Water has an estimated 1g/cm^3 density, therefore the density of this object is greater than that of water and would sink.

How would you calculate the density of an object?
Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Thus, the density of an object is the mass of the object divided by its volume.
What is volume weight and density?
volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)
What would be the density of object that has a volume of 25 and of 5 grams?
What would be the density of an object that has a volume of 25 cm3 and 5 grams?
How would you calculate the volume of an irregular piece of rock?
[object Object]
When would you use displacement and when would you use math to determine volume of an object?
I would assume that you would use displacement to determine volume when the object is extremely complicatedly shaped.
When would the displacement of water not be a good method for finding the volume?
It would not be good for finding the volume of an object that is less dense than water. Such an object would float and therefore would not displace its full volume worth of water.
How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
What would you use to measure volume of an irregular object?
I would place it in a container full of liquid after measuring the liquid. I would measure the amount of liquid displaced by the object. That amount is equal to the volume of the irregular object if it is fully submerged in the liquid.
Why might the volume of one object differ from the sum of the volumes of its parts and the volume of another object equal the sum of the volumes of its parts?
the volume of its parts would be equal to the amount off butts an object gives off
