Tilting a graduated cylinder when putting something it in is is so that the object will not break. If you just drop the object straight in it will go straight to the bottom and break.
What else can I help you with?
Why should you tilt the graduated cylinder when you drop in objects?
Tilting the graduated cylinder allows the object to slide down gently without splashing or bouncing. This helps to prevent the formation of air bubbles that could affect volume measurements.
What pieces of equipment would be most appropriate for measuring the volume of a marble?
A graduated cylinder or a beaker with volume markings would be appropriate for measuring the volume of a marble. Simply add water to the cylinder or beaker, record the initial volume, then carefully drop the marble in and record the new volume to calculate the volume of the marble.
How do you find the density of the irregular object?
First find the mass of the object. You need to find the volume of the irregular object. You do this by water displacement. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, you fill the cylinder with enough water to completely cover the object. DO NOT put the object in yet. Record that volume. Then gently place the object into the cylinder and record the new volume of water. The difference between the first and second volume is the volume of the object in mL, which is the same as cm3. If the object is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder, you can use an overflow can. You fill the can completely with water. The can has a downspout that will allow the water to flow out of the can. To do this, fill an overflow can completely with water. Allow the excess water to drain out of the downspout. Then place a beaker under the downspout. Gently put the object into the overflow can and catch the water that flows out in the beaker. Pour the water into a graduated cylinder and read the volume. This is the volume of the irregular solid. You can also hold a graduated cylinder under the downspout and let the water flow into the cylinder directly. The volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object. Once you have the volume of the irregular solid, you can use the density formula to find density. Density = mass/volume. See the related links below.
Experiment to prove acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass?
Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building. Don't make the objects too small, otherwise, air resistance will interfere with your experiments.Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building.

How do you FIND the voulme of a penny?
To find the volume of a penny, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the penny and h is the thickness. The radius of a penny is approximately 0.75 cm, and the thickness is around 0.0598 cm, so you can plug these values into the formula to calculate the volume.

How can you measure the volume of solid with a graduated cylinder?
You can put water in the graduated cylinder and drop the solid in and see how much the water rises
How can you accurately find the volume of a can of Coke?
Put it in a graduated cylinder. a) Find a graduated cylinder big enough to hold a can of Coke. b) Make sure it has a small scale. (Smaller scales are more accurate.) c) Fill the graduated cylinder with water to a mark on the cylinder. d) Find how much higher the water is when you drop the can in.
What are some things that can happen if you drop a piece of metal into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water?
It could sink. (The metal's density is greater than water.) It could turn into a ball of flames. (If you dropped a chunk of sodium into graduated cylinder, it would react with flames or sparks.)
What is more precise a pipette or graduated cylinder?
A pipette is generally more precise than a graduated cylinder. This is because pipettes are designed to deliver specific volumes of liquid accurately, while graduated cylinders are typically used for measuring approximate volumes.
Why do you have to wet the stone before dropping it into the graduated cylinder?
If you were to drop a dry stone into a graduated cylinder it would pull a lot of air bubbles down with it (they stick to the surface, you should actually be able to see them) and that will give you an erroneous volume.
How to find the volume of an irregular shape?
To find the volume of an irregular shape, you need to use the water displacement method. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder with enough water to adequately cover the object, but don't put the object inside the cylinder yet. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. Carefully drop the object into the cylinder. This will cause a rise in the water in the cylinder. Record this second volume. Subtract the first volume from the second volume, and the difference is the volume of the irregular object. For larger objects, use an overflow can.
How do you measure accurately with a graduated cylinder?
First, fill it up with water and write down the number it is at. Then drop the item that you wish to measure with. And subtract the two numbers that you get.
How do you find the density of a key?
fill a graduated cylinder half way up. then drop it in. see how much the water has rose. this is your density. this is also called water displacement
Explain how you find the volume of a marble using displacement?
You take a graduated cylinder,or anything you can measure water in, and put water in it. You drop the marble in and the change in water height is your volume. For example if the cylinder is filled up to 10ml and after you drop in the marble it goes to 15ml then the marble has a volume of 5ml cubed.
What pieces of equipment would be most appropriate for measuring the volume of a marble?
A graduated cylinder or a beaker with volume markings would be appropriate for measuring the volume of a marble. Simply add water to the cylinder or beaker, record the initial volume, then carefully drop the marble in and record the new volume to calculate the volume of the marble.
