Benchmark Question #19 Volume

If you put a solid object into a glass of water, what will happen?

• the object will get larger

• the water level will decrease

• the water level will increase

• the object will weigh less

What causes the water level to rise when a solid object is placed into a glass of water?

• the mass of the object

• the volume of the object

• the weight of the object

• the temperature of the water

What is the amount of space something takes up?

• mass

• weight

• length

• volume

How can you find the volume of a liquid?

• put it in a graduated cylinder or a beaker

• measure length, width, and height with a ruler, then multiply L x W x H

• put it in a graduated cylinder or a beaker with a set amount of water and see how much the water goes up

• it's not possible to find the volume of a liquid

How can you find the volume of a solid that is IRREGULARLY SHAPED?

Since it is too hard to measure a blueberry, I put it into a graduated cylinder filled with water to see how much the water rises. This is an example of

• water displacement

• measuring

• bEin SmArT

• the density formula
