Answer:

Water displacement is usually the method most students use because if you do it correctly, it can be more accurate than measurement and calculation.

Explanation:

If the object has an abnormal shape, you might be unable to measure its physical dimensions accurately. Instead, what you can do is measure the volume which is displaced when the object is immersed in a liquid or a gas. This is a very common method for measuring volume, and when done correctly, it is highly accurate.

For example, if you want to know the volume of a piece of ginger root, you can fill a beaker or a measuring cup with a known volume of water – let's say one cup. Next, add the ginger. Make sure that it is submerged underwater. Then, measure the new volume at the water line. The new volume will always be more than the starting volume. Subtract the starting volume (one cup) from this new volume, and you will have the volume of the ginger.

Answer:

El cocodrilo se arrastró durante 20.833 segundos.

Explanation:

El enunciado presenta omisiones y errores conceptuales. La forma correcta es la siguiente: <em>"Un cocodrilo se arrastró 25 metros hacia la derecha con una  rapidez promedio de 1.2 metros por segundo. ¿Cuántos segundos se arrastró el cocodrilo?"</em>

Consideremos que el cocodrilo tiene un movimiento rectilíneo uniforme, el tiempo requerido para el recorrido se calcula con la siguiente ecuación cinemática:

t = \frac{x}{v} (1)

Donde:

x - Distancia recorrida, en metros.

v - Rapidez del cocodrilo, en metros por segundo.

t - Tiempo, en segundos.

Si x = 25\,m y v = 1.2\,\frac{m}{s}, entonces el tiempo empleado por el cocodrilo es:

t = \frac{25\,m}{1.2\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 20.833\,s

El cocodrilo se arrastró durante 20.833 segundos.

Physical Changes
Talja [164]
C. Physical changes do not change the identity of a substance, only the physical appearance such as shape or form. If you break a pencil in half, it is still composed of the same material and therefore keeps its identity as the substance it was before the physical change. Phase changes, such as ice melting, is also a physical change because it changes form. But ice is still made of H20 just like water and steam are comprised of H20.
