You are free to use either unit, and you would normally choose the unit according to the size of the object whose volume you were measuring; for smaller objects you might prefer to use cubic centimeters, and for larger objects you might use cubic meters, and for even larger objects you might use cubic kilometers.
What else can I help you with?
How do you work out the density of a solid object?
To calculate the density of a solid object, you divide the object's mass by its volume. The formula for density is density = mass / volume. Mass is typically measured in grams or kilograms, and volume is usually measured in cubic centimeters or cubic meters.
What does 34 x 67 x 45 mean?
These seem to be measurements for a three-dimensional object, most likely a cuboid solid, or a tank. One of the measurements would be the height, another the length and the last the width. Whatever units are involved, the object would have a volume of 102,510 cubic units.
Would most appropriately have its mass and volume measured in grams and milliliters respectively?
A solid object, such as a rock or a metal bar, would most appropriately have its mass measured in grams and its volume measured in milliliters.
How do you find the volume of a composite solid?
The volume of a solid object is measured using a mathematical equation appropriate to its geometry, provided it is of regularly geometrical form (polyhedral or circle-based). Alternatively, if it is irregular but small and can be immersed, by displacement of water.
How do you know an object has the most density?
An object has the most density when it has the greatest mass for its volume compared to other objects of the same material. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so the object with the most mass in the least volume will have the highest density.
What units measurement would be a most useful for measuring the volume of a sliced bread?
The best units would be millimetres for the length measurements and millilitres for the volume.
What is the volume of liquids most often expressed as?
Liters and milliliters are the units used most often to express the volume of liquids.
What do you use to measure volume if units are in centimeters cubed?
If units are in centimeters cubed, you would use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the length, width, and height of an object in centimeters. You can then multiply these three dimensions together to calculate the volume in cubic centimeters.
What unit is density measured?
kilogram per liter ( = grams/ccm) pounds (or slugs) per cubic foot Mass Density is always measured in mass per unit volume. There is no specific standard for either the mass unit or volume unit; instead, the unit most appropriate to the size being discussed it used. Note that "density" can also be a non-mass measurement, as with electro-magnetic field (or flux) density, or as a numeric counting, as in "10,000 fish per cubic mile of ocean".
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
How does solidification affect an objects volume?
The volume of most substances will reduce if the substance changes from liquid to solid.
What can the volume of an irregular object be measured by?
The volume of an irregular object can most accurately be determined by its displacement in water. Fill a container to the brim, and stand it in a tub of some description. When you submerge the irregular object, the quantity of water displaced (ie. overflowing into the tub) will be equal to the volume of the object. The accuracy of this method will be determined by your ability to measure the quantity of water and the purity of it (pure H20 being ideal). This was first discovered by Archimedes, who used the displacement of water to ensure the kings crown was solid gold.
