Question

determine how much liquid is in each graduated cylinder. four different objects were placed in a graduated cylinder 1 at a time: 9) which object had the greatest volume? 10) which object had the least volume? compare the empty graduated cylinder to a - d science www.commoncoresheets.com 2

Explanation:

Step1: Determine liquid - levels in graduated cylinders

Read the meniscus of the liquid in each graduated cylinder for the first 8 parts. For the last two parts, find the volume of the objects by subtracting the initial liquid - level (in the empty cylinder) from the final liquid - level when the object is submerged.

Step2: Analyze volumes of objects

The volume of an object placed in the graduated cylinder is equal to the increase in the liquid level. Compare these increases to answer which object has the greatest and least volume.

1. 10 mL
2. 40 mL
3. 20 mL
4. 60 mL
5. 70 mL
6. 30 mL
7. 50 mL
8. 40 mL
9. The battery (B) has the greatest volume as it causes the largest increase in the liquid level.
10. The nail (C) has the least volume as it causes the smallest increase in the liquid level.

Answer:

1. 10 mL
2. 40 mL
3. 20 mL
4. 60 mL
5. 70 mL
6. 30 mL
7. 50 mL
8. 40 mL
9. Battery (B)
10. Nail (C)
