Amount of water in an object?

The amount of water in an object can be determined by calculating the difference in weight before and after submerging the object in water. The weight difference is equal to the amount of water displaced by the object, which can then be converted to volume using the density of water (1g/cm3).


What is the force on a floating object that is equal to the amount of water the object displaces?

You're fishing for the "buoyant force", but the wording of the question isquite unscientific.The force on the floating object is not equal to water. It's equal to theweight of the amount of water that is displaced.


When an object is placed in water it pushes the waterout of the way this called d?

This phenomenon is called displacement. When an object is placed in water, it displaces the water volume equal to its own volume, causing the water to be pushed out of the way to accommodate the object. This principle is used to determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects by measuring the amount of water they displace.


What is it called when water hits an object?

When water hits an object, it is called splashing or splattering.


Everything in or on water pushes some water aside even if it's just a little bit What is this called?

This is called "displacement", as the weight of water that moves is equal to the weight of the object on the water. Heavier objects displace more water. If the total weight of the object is greater than the water displaced by its volume, it is denser than water, and sinks.

Does the amount of water affect the floatation fo an object?

No, As long as you can see if the object is floating or sinking, then the amount of water does not matter

Is it true or false that the height of an object above sea level is its relief?

This height is called the altitude. It is the amount of distance between the object and the surface of water.

What is it called when water rises after you drop an object in it?

When water rises after you drop an object in it, it is called displacement. The water is displaced by the volume of the object that is submerged, causing the water level to rise.


Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?

No, the amount of water displaced by an object is determined by its volume, not its density. Objects with different densities but the same volume will displace the same amount of water.


How do you calculate the volume of a irergular object?

Use a measured water cylinder, drop in the object, the amount of water displaced represents the volume of the object
