Is a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water less than its volume?
A body which is totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water equal to the volume of the body.
What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
An object displaces a volume of a fluid that?
Two answers to this: 1. If the object floats on the fluid, then it displaces its own mass in fluid. 2. If the object sinks, it will displace its own volume in fluid.
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.
What Unit of measure do you use to determine volume?
While many different units can be used to measure volume, the most common units for measuring volume are the cubic centimeter (cm3) = 1 milliliter (ml).
What would you do to determine the volume of a rock?
You would determine the volume of water it displaces and measure it.
How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
Conclusion of Archimedes principle in lab?
The conclusion of the Archimedes principle is simply that the upward buoyant force that is experienced by a body immersed in a fluid, is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This allows the volume of an object to be measured by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces after submerging. For any immersed object, the volume of the submerged portions equals the volume of fluid it displaces.
How would you measure a pumpkin?
I would recomend measuring a pumpkin based on its mass, which can be found by weighing it (not that weight= mass, but weight can be used to determine mass as long as the pumpkin remains on Earth) You could also determine the volume by measuring how much water it displaces. I would stick to mass, though
What is an easy way to measure the volume of an oddly shaped solid object?
by measuring the amount of water it displaces
How do you figure out the weight of a rock?
You could weigh it. You can also determine its density by comparing it to an equal volume of water, but first you would have to determine how much water it displaces to determine its volume.
How can you express the volume of a gold nugget using cubic units?
Submerge it in water and determine the volume (in cubic centimeters) that it displaces. That will be the volume of the nugget.
What is microplethysmography?
The technique of measuring minute changes in the volume of a part as a result of blood flow into or out of it.
What do you use to measure the volume of a stone?
You have to use a measuring cylinder and water.
To use measuring cylinder and a ruler to determine length and volume?
You don't
What is equal to the volume of water an object displaces?
volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it
What tools do use to determine the volume and mass of a rock?
A measuring jug is all you need for the volume and a mass balance is needed to determine mass.
