What do you measure to find out how much space something occupies?

If the object is a box, then the volume is the length x width x height. If the object is a cylinder, then the volume is pi x radius x radius x height. If the object is a ball, then the volume is 4/3 * pi x radius x radius x radius.


What is volume in physics?

To get the volume you must know the formula : D = M (D x V ) 1 V ( V x 1) M = DV (cancel D in numerator and D in denominator ) D D therefore , the formula is "V = M" D


Why is wind energy is not widely used?

Because it takes up lots of space and it is hard to find places with constant winds.


A situation when an object can have mass without having weight?

If that "something" you are reffering to is matter, then no, this will not be possible. It is against the very fundamentals of physics...Matter is something which has mass AND occupies space. If this were the case, that something would have mass and not occupy space.. its density would be round about infinity. A black hole is the closest to what you might be wanting to hear. It has a mass, and has a space that is no smaller than a teaspoon. Energy does not come in to this. The simple reason because it has its own quantity so we can not possibly imagine to find the *mass* and *space* of the form of energy, say heat. I hope this helped.Sincerely, Kenny.


Does air in a balloon have no measurable mass?

No, air is matter and all matter takes up space therefore, having a mass. You can find it by subtracting the mass of the balloon from the total mass of the balloon and the air. (You will need a very accurate scale.)

Why do you multiply when doing volume?

you multiply when you are finding the volume of something is because that is how you find how much space something takes


How does the surface area differ from area?

The diff is that SA (SURFACE AREA) is the area of the entire figure like a cube you would find the whole area of the firgure not the face. Area is the amount of space an object takes like a field to find out how much space it takes. :)

Anything that has mass and volume is called?

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.


How do find out how much space a bed takes up in a room?

Find out the measurements of the bed and then measure that in the room.


What does area reference mean?

The number of square units inside a shapeArea means the amount of 2-dimensional space an object takes up.area is the space inside the shape


What do volume mass and density have in common?

Well, in order to find the density of an object, here's what you must do:1) find the volume2) find the mass (by weighing)3) Mass over volume = densityMass volume tells us how much space something takes up. Density tells us how much is in that space i.e. how compact the molecules are.


What does it mean when you find the volume of a solid shape?

It's the amount of cubic space within it.

Why is the space probes important to space?

We need space probes so that we can find new planets, stars, black holes and many more things. We might even find something from OUTSIDE the universe


How was The Louisiana Purchase similar to space explorations today?

the Louisiana purchase is different from space explorations because Lewis and Clark had to find something - I guess. And space travel is traveling into space.
