What else can I help you with?
Can the water displacement method be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in the water such as a cork?
Yes, the water displacement method can be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in water. To do this, you would need to measure the volume of the water displaced by the object when it is submerged, and then divide the object's mass by this volume to find its density.
What is the purpose of water displacement?
Water displacement is a method used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object by submerging it in a container of water and measuring the amount of water that is displaced. This helps in determining the volume of the object without the need for complex measurements.
When would you use water displacement?
Usually water displacement is used to determine the volume of an object. When the object is added to the water, the amount of displacement can be measured. I don't know if there is an equation to do this, but it most likely involves subtracting the final volume from the initial volume.~Jeff Johnsonwww.jeffjohnsonis.com
What is the tool to measure volume using water displacement?
A beaker is used to measure volume using water displacement.
What is water displacement used for?
a graduated cylinder
What is water displacement and how can it be used to find the volume of an imegularsolid?
sophi
What are the thin tubes used for water displacement called?
a cylinder tube
What technique used to calculate the volume of an irregular object?
Water displacement
How is water displacement used in the real world?
Water displacement is used to measure the volumn of an irregular shaped object. If a bowling ball was immersed in water, you could use the difference in the before and after water amount to give you the mass of the object inserted.
What is another name for displacement can?
Another name for displacement can is overload can. They are used to measure the volume of a solid object by submerging it in water and measuring the volume of water displaced.
Why do you need to use water to find the volume of a solid?
Water displacement is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped solids because when the solid is immersed in water, it displaces an amount of water equal to its volume. By measuring the change in water level before and after immersing the solid, you can calculate the volume of the solid.
Why do you need to use the water displacement method for some objects and not others?
The water displacement method is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects. This method is not necessary for regularly shaped objects whose volume can be easily calculated using geometric formulas. Irregularly shaped objects do not have a straightforward formula for volume calculation, hence the need for the water displacement method.
