Can containers that have different shapes have the same volume?
It is not true. Imagine each container displaces one liter and that we are feeding these containers with a constant-speed pump running at one liter per minute. It will then take one minute to fill either of those two containers; their shape has nothing to do with it.
Why did the volume remain the same in all containers?
The volume of a liquid is conserved — i.e., it remains the same — no matter what container you pour it into. They may object, for example, that the volume cannot remain the same because tiny drops will cling to the container being emptied.
What takes the shape and volume of its container?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container.
Which state of matter takes the shape of the container?
A liquid takes that shape of its container. If something is in a liquid state of matter, it will have a definite volume, but an indefinite shape.
How do you compare the volume of a shape?
Compare Volumes of 3D shapes
- Volume (Vco) of the cone is give by: V co = (1 / 3)*area of base * height.
- Volume (Vcy) of the cylinder is give by: V cy = area of base * height.
- Volume (Vhe) of the hemisphere is give by: V he = (1 / 2) volume of a sphere.
- The volume of the cylinder is the largest.
What never changes its volume or shape?
GASSES are materials that have no definite shape or definite volume. Under normal conditions gasses are always changing their shape and volume. PLASMA is a gas that has the properties of every other gas, However it has very special abilities.
What takes the shape of a container but not the size?
A liquid has definite size (or volume) but indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container but its volume remains the same irrespective of the size of the container. The particles of a liquid are not as closely packed as those of solid.
What takes shape of a container?
Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container.
