displacement

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the volume of fluid that is moved out of the way when an object is submerged in it.

Front

What is the displacement method?

Back

The displacement method is a technique used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object by observing the change in water level in a graduated cylinder.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of an object using the displacement method?

Back

Volume = New Volume - Old Volume.

Front

If the old volume is 50 mL and the new volume is 60 mL, what is the volume of the object?

Back

10 mL.

Front

What happens to the water level when an object is added to a graduated cylinder?

Back

The water level rises, indicating the volume of the object added.

Front

What is the formula to find the volume of an object using displacement?

Back

Volume = New Volume - Old Volume.

Front

If an object causes the water level to rise from 30 mL to 34 mL, what is the volume of the object?

Back

4 mL.

Front

What is the significance of measuring displacement in science?

Back

Measuring displacement helps determine the volume of irregular objects that cannot be measured directly.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume in the metric system?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume is milliliters (mL) or liters (L).

Front

If the old volume is 20 mL and the new volume is 25 mL, what is the volume of the object?

Back

5 mL.
