When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
How could you find the density of a potato?
first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume. density= mass/volume simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3). unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3
What causes the water level rise when you put an object in a graduated cylinder?
When you put an object in a graduated cylinder, the water level rises because the object displaces water equal to its volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object that is submerged in the water.
How could the volume of a 12 sided object be found using water and a graduated cylinder?
it can be found by first taking the volume of the water itself and then the volume of the object in the water. you pour water into the 12-sided object, then measure the amount of water using the graduated cylinder. Then you do this: length x width x height = volume
How do you measure volume In Water displacement?
To measure volume using water displacement, you fill a graduated cylinder with a specific volume of water, note the initial volume, then submerge the object in the water. The increase in water level is the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to get the volume of the object.
How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
To find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder, you can use the method of water displacement. Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water, then carefully submerge the irregular object in the water. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the irregular object.
What can be used to mesure the volume of a solid object?
You can measure the volume of a solid object using a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Simply fill the graduated cylinder with water to a certain level, then place the solid object in the water and measure the increase in volume. The difference in volume before and after the object is added will give you the volume of the object.
What is an easy rock experiment?
Fill a graduated cylinder full of water, than drop a rock inside. The amount that the water rises will determine the volume of the rock. Amount of water level increase=volume of rock.
How do you find the volume of a rock given a graduated cylinder?
If the rock is small enough to be put into the cylinder, then fill the cylinder first with water to a known level (the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Then slowly drop the rock into the cylinder without splashing. Now read the level of the water (again the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Subtract the first reading from the second and that would be the volume of the rock.
How you can use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of a irregular object?
Put water in the cylinder to a level that would cover the object. Drop the item in and if it sinks, read the new level on the graduations. The difference in volume between the two marks, is the volume of the item.
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
Can you explain how to read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring the volume of a liquid?
To read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring liquid volume, look at the bottom of the curve where the liquid meets the cylinder. Read the measurement at eye level to get an accurate volume reading.
