| What is volume? | Volume is the quantity of space an object takes up. |
| How can volume be measured> | Volume can be measured using -a measuring cylinder -using formulas -using a displacement can |
| Formula for volume? | volume of block=length x width x height volume of cylinder= π x radius2 x height |
| How can time be measured? | Time can be measured on and analogue or digital stopwatch |
| When is finding the period useful? | Finding the period is often easier to measure than short time intervals |
| How do you find the time for one swing? | To find the time for one swing you can set up a pendulum. you measure the time it takes for 10 swings to occur then divide the time by the amount of swings |
| How can the mass of objects be measured? | The mass of objects can be measured using a balance |
| How can you measure the volume of a small solid? | The volume of a small solid can be done in a measuring cylinder. -Partially fill the cylinder and record the volume -Then place the object in and record the volume -The increase in level is volume of the solid |
| How is a displacement can used? |
-Fill can (water reached spout)
-slowly submerge object
-record volume in beaker.
