When you drop a piece of stone into a glass half filled with water, the stone will displace some of the water, causing the water level to rise. This is known as the principle of displacement. The amount of water displaced will be equal to the volume of the stone that is submerged.

Why the glass of water overflowed if stone dropped?

If the glass is even partially filled a stone thrown at sufficient speed will splash water below the kinetic energy of the stone will be dissipated by transferring it to the water. However if the stone is gently dropped into the glass of water (and it was full or nearly full) then the stone which is not soluble in water will displace an amount of water equal to its volume which will overflow.


Why when you put piece of stone in a glass full of water an amount of water is spilled out of the glass?

anything with matter takes up space. two objects cannot occupy the same space, I mean it wouldn't be funny if that guy not paying attention just walked through the pole instead of smashing into it right? So, when you drop a rock in the cup, the cup still only has the same amount of space to give up, but now the rock and the water are competing for that space. Well the rock is denser, so it sinks, pushing the water out of the way and causing it to rise. If you want to see this happen where the water wins, try putting a ping pong ball in the glass. You'll notice now its the water that remains in the glass and the ball that is sticking out of the cup.

How do stones turn into glass?

Stones can turn into glass through a process called melt-quenching, where the stone is heated to high temperatures until it becomes molten. The molten stone is then rapidly cooled to room temperature, which prevents the formation of a crystalline structure, resulting in an amorphous solid known as glass.


Why does a stone shatter glass while a bullet makes a neat hole?

A bullet travels at really high velocity and therefore the glass does not have enough time to bend due to the force and shatter instead the bullet just damages the area it gets in contact with and thus making a hole in the glass. Whereas a stone travels at a low velocity and the glass has enough time to bend and shatter

Is a fissure filled ruby real?

The rubies used to create fissure-filled stones are generally of very low quality. This kind of ruby is usually made more porous with an acid treatment. Then it is heated with other materials that make glass when the ruby gets hot enough. The glass fills in pits in the ruby. Therefore, parts of the stone are ruby, but parts are actually glass. Whether you consider this ruby "real" is up to you since parts are ruby, but depending on the size of the fissures that are filled, a significant part of the stone can be glass. The stones can be pretty, but glass does not have the same properties or hardness of a ruby.
