Question

When using the displacement method to determine density, if all metal samples have the same mass, the metal sample that has a higher density causes _____________ increase in water level. Gro up of answer choices

Answer 1

In displacement method to determine density , volume of an object can be determined by water displacement. Volumes of liquids such as water can be readily measured in a graduated cylinder. To use the water displacement method, an object (metal sample) is inserted into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water. The object's volume occupies space, displacing liquid and raising the water level. The difference between the two volumes, before and after the object was inserted, is the object's volume.

Since, d = m/V

so, larger the density, lesser the volume of object and lesser increase in water level.

When using the displacement method to determine density, if all metal samples have the same mass, the metal sample that has a higher density causes _Lesser__ increase in water level.
