What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.
What is the volume of voids of open space in a rock or unconsolidated material?
Porosity is the volume of open spaces in rock or soil.
Which property of the rock can be directly determined when the rock is placed in overflow container?
Volume
What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
What acts on a rock to change its shape or volume?
The answer is stress
How would you use your calibrated bottle to find the volume of the rock?
Place a specific amount of water in your bottle. Record the volume. Place the rock in the bottle. Read and record the new volume of water. Subtract the first volume measurement from the measurement after you added the rock. The difference is the volume of the rock.
How do you find out the volume of a rock?
Height times width times length equals the volume of the rock.
What happens to to the volume of a container when a rock is added?
Placing a rock in a container does not alter the volume of the container, although it does occupy some of that volume.
What volume of the rock?
It depends on the size and type of rock. Volume is the space occupied by a rock.*The volume of rock music (its amplitude) is usually in the high environmental range, above 65 decibels, that can cause hearing loss with repeated exposure.
How could you figure out the volume of an irregular solid such as a rock?
Fill a bowl of water that is bigger than the rock right to the top, add the rock, collect and measure the volume of how much water is spilt. Provide the rock is not porous or very soluble this will provide the volume of the rock.
How do you calculate the mass of a rock?
The mass of a rock is just how much it weighs. Density on the other hand can be found by finding the volume or size of the rock (most easily done in small objects by placing the rock into a beaker or graduated cylinder with markings to see how much water the rock displaces. Completely submerge the rock antd the increase in volume in the water is the volume of the rock). Once you know how much volume there is and how much mass there is (mass is how much it weighs) divide the mass by the volume which gives you the density. Density=Mass÷Volume
If a rock with less mass and volume than a body of water how is it possible that it has a greater density and can sink?
Body of water has large mass and volume. Rock has got less mass and volume. But still the rock sinks in the water. The reason is very simple. Density of the rock is more than water. Mass upon volume of the rock is more than water. So rock sinks in the water. That means rock is heavier than water, if the volume of both is same. Alternately the if you take the same mass of both, rock and water, volume of the rock is lesser than that of water.
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.
What is the volume of voids of open space in a rock or unconsolidated material?
Porosity is the volume of open spaces in rock or soil.
How is the volume of a rock measured?
One way to do it is fill a graduated cylinder with water and record the number, next put the rock in the water and be careful not to spill any water. Record the volume of the rock and the water together. The difference in the volumes is the volume of the rock.
Why is the graduated cylinder used instead of a ruler to measure the volume of a rock?
Because most rocks are not made up of common geometric shapes, it would be difficult or impossible to find the volume of a rock using a ruler; there would be no easy way to measure the rock's irregular volume. However, by measuring the volume of liquid a rock displaces, its volume can easily be determined.
The amount of space a rock takes up is its....?
displacement ^_^
