The level of the liquid goes up because the object and the liquid can't take up the same space so the liquid flows up around it so they can both have space.

How does the liquid in a thermometer move up and down?

When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands. This means its volume increases. The only place for the extra volume to go is up the tube, so the level of liquid rises. When the liquid gets colder it contracts (reduces in volume) so it moves back down the tube. See http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/how_it_works/thermometer.html


Why did the water level change when you dropped the marble in the water?

because when you add an object to fluid it displaces the water which therefor makes the level go down


Does mass affect equal volume how it falls through a liquid?

The only way that the mass can change is if matter is added or taken away. The volume of a liquid can increase if heated, such as the liquid inside of a thermometer. The thermometer is sealed and no liquid gets in or out, so the mass of the liquid is unchanged. But when the temperature goes up, the liquid expands and is forced to go up the thermometer.


Would a marble go slow if the liquid was cold or hot?

Not by itself, unless it wasn't made of glass. For something to float it has to have a lower density than the object it's trying to float in As glass is denser than water, it will sink!


Where does the energy go when the object is in stationary?

When a moving object comes to a halt, it simply means that the energy that set it moving in the first place has run out. In other words there is no more kinetic energy available to cause the object to move. Remember that for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction. If you push a cart forward, you are applying a measurable force that moves the object, but as soon as you stop pushing the cart, then gravity, air resistance etc will counteract the momentum and eventually the cart, if on a level surface, will stop

How do molecules behave during the solid liquid and gas phases?

When an object is solid, molecules get packed in a place. They cannot move freely. The force of attraction is great. So it gives the object a solid shape. When the object is liquid, molecules Move A little bit freely, so the force of attraction is less when the object is liquid. And when the object is gas, the molecules move very freely. They bump onto each other. The force of attraction is very very very less. That's why, gases move freely and go away.


What is water displacement?

Water displacement is simply when something (e.g. a block) is put into water, and the water level rises. This is because the block is taking up space, and the water has to move somewhere, and the only place to go is up.
