What is the curved surface at the top of a contained liquid called?

What is the curved surface at the top of a contained liquid called? MENISCUS

What is the volume of this fish?

What is the volume of this fish?final volume – initial volume =

volume of the fish

29.0mL-26.0mL = 3.0mL

If this fish has a mass of 2g. What is the density of the fish?

If this fish has a mass of 2g. What is the density of the fish? d=m/vm=2gv=3.0mLd = 2g/3.0mL = 0.67g/mL

Jerome adds 25mL of water to an empty graduated cylinder. He then drops a nail with a mass of 20g into the water. The volume of the cylinder reads 35mL after the nail is added.What is the density of the nail?

Initial volume = 25mLFinal volume = 35mLVolume of the nail = final volume – initial volume = 35mL-25mL = 10mLMass of the nail = 20g

d = mass/volume

d = 20g/10mL

density = 2g/mL

Jerome adds 25mL of water to an empty graduated cylinder. He then drops a nail with a mass of 20g into the water. The volume of the cylinder reads 35mL after the nail is added.What is the density of the nail?

Mary decided to find the density of her metal chain to try and identify what the it is was made from. She found the volume of the chain to be 7 cm3 and the mass to be 62.3 g.

What is the chain made of?

Volume of the chain = 7cm3

Mass of the chain = 62.3g.

d = mass/volume

d = 62.3g/7cm3

d = 8.9g/mL

The chain is copper.

It is important to use correct units of measure when recording and communicating data, because people sharing information have to speak the same “unit language.” For instance, if your mom asks you to go to the store to get 5 lemons, but all she says is “get 5”, you wouldn’t have any idea what she is asking you to get. You might come home with 5 boxes of cereal or 5 bags of beans.
