Question

1. describe you are given a toy metal car and asked to find its volume. describe how you would do this.

Explanation:

Step1: Prepare a graduated cylinder

Fill a graduated cylinder partially with water and record the initial volume of water, $V_1$.

Step2: Immerse the toy car

Gently lower the toy metal car into the graduated cylinder until it is completely submerged. Make sure no air - bubbles are trapped with it.

Step3: Record the final volume

Record the new volume of the water - car system, $V_2$.

Step4: Calculate the volume

The volume of the toy metal car, $V = V_2 - V_1$.

Answer:

The volume of the toy metal car is found by subtracting the initial volume of water in the graduated cylinder from the final volume of the water - car system after submerging the car. That is, $V = V_2 - V_1$, where $V_1$ is the initial volume of water and $V_2$ is the final volume of the water - car system.
