To measure the air in a glass full of stones, you can first fill the glass with water. Then, carefully submerge the glass into a larger container of water, making sure no air escapes. The volume of water displaced by the glass will indicate the total volume of the glass, including the volume of air in between the stones. By subtracting the volume of water from the total volume of the glass, you can determine the volume of air present.

Is your glass half full or half empty or is your glass ALWAYS full?

By Haurn Mo. It depends on your perception. If the glass was already empty and you starting filling it up but stoped halfway, the glass is half full, If you started drink it but stoped halfway, the glass is half empty.


Which device is used to measure air temperature?

A thermometer is used to measure air temperature. Several types of thermometers can be used, such as liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers.


Why doesn't a paper towel get wet when you put the cup inside of the water?

Water cannot fill the glass because the glass is already ~lled with air. The "empty" glass is full of air. So, air takes up space. Air is a gas. It has no size or shape of its own but will fill every space it can.


How full do you fill a glass of wine?

Wine needs to combine with air to open up its full flavor potential so filling a glass to the half-way point (and refilling as necessary) is best.


How does the thermometer used to measure air temperature differ from the thermometer used to take your temperature?

A thermometer used to measure air temperature uses a glass tube filled with a liquid either alcohol or mercury. When the temperature increases the particles of liquid expand, filling the glass tub. Thermometers that are used to measure you body temperature uses infrared sensors.


Describe an activity to demonstrate that Liquid has surface while a gas does not?

Fill a glass with water. The water (liquid) has a surface near the top of the glass. Pour the water out of the glass. Now the glass is full of air. The only thing keeping it in there is the weight of all the other air around the opening of the glass. Remove the surrounding air, and the air in the glass rushes out of it. There is no boundary set up at the 'end' of a parcel of air. Any sample of gas always expands to fill whatever contains it, until it runs up against the container.

Why you cant immerse empty glass into a bucket full of water easily?

When you try to immerse an empty glass into a bucket of water, the air inside the glass creates resistance against the incoming water. This resistance prevents the water from filling the glass quickly, creating a pocket of air that must be displaced. As a result, the glass tends to float or resist being fully submerged until the air is expelled. This phenomenon is due to the principles of fluid dynamics and air pressure.
