Question

finished early density
four different objects were placed in a graduated cylinder 1 at a time:
images of graduated cylinders labeled empty, a (battery), b (nail), c (button), d (key)
which object has the most volume, assuming they all started at the empty graduated cylinder water level?
○ battery
○ button
○ key
○ nail

Explanation:

To determine which object has the most volume, we use the principle of water displacement in a graduated cylinder. The volume of an object submerged in water is equal to the volume of water it displaces (the rise in the water level). By comparing the water levels after each object is added, the object that causes the greatest rise in water level has the largest volume. Looking at the graduated cylinders, the battery (A) causes the highest water level among the four objects, indicating it displaces the most water and thus has the largest volume.

Answer:

A. battery
