Students use the water displacement method to find the volume of different rods that all have the same mass. They calculate the density of each rod and use the characteristic density of each material to identify all five rods. Then students consider the relationship between the mass, size, and arrangement of atoms to explain why
To determine the displacement of an object, you only have to consider the change in position between the starting point and the ending point. The path followed from one point to the other does not matter.
Look at the graduated cylinders below. Then, record the volumes without and with. the object. Finally, using the formula Vf-Vi (final volume - initial volume) calculate the volume of each object. Remember to label units on your answers. Initial Volume (Vi) =________.
Calculate position vectors in a multidimensional displacement problem. Solve for the displacement in two or three dimensions. Calculate the velocity vector given the position vector as a function of time.
Worksheet 1a – Distance and displacement 1. Frank is driving along a straight highway when he notices a marker that says “260km”. He continues to the 150-km marker and then turns around and goes back to the 175-km marker. a) What is the total distance travelled? b) What is the total displacement for the whole trip? 2.
Use positive and negative signs to show direction of displacement, velocity and acceleration. Note: When an object is travelling at constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. Then we use the equation v = Nx ___ to calculate constant velocity, Nt displacement or time. Follow this procedure when solving problems with equations of motion:
This document appears to be instructions for an experiment on determining volume by water displacement. The document contains 24 numbered sections showing different water levels in graduated cylinders before and after objects are added. The goal is to use the changes in water level to calculate the volume of the added objects.
