Question 3 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

Kendall gathered the following materials for her experiment.an empty graduated cylinderan identical graduated cylinder partly filled with watera balancea marble

Answer
A
She can measure the volume and mass of the marble, the volume and mass of the water, and the volume and mass of the empty graduated cylinder.
B
She can measure the volume and mass of the marble, the volume and mass of the water, and the mass of the empty graduated cylinder.
C
She can measure the volume of the marble and water, and the mass of the empty graduated cylinder.
D
She can measure the mass of the marble and water, and the volume of the empty graduated cylinder.

Explanation

The balance can measure the marble’s mass and the empty cylinder’s mass. The marble’s volume can be found from how much it raises the water level, and the water’s volume can be read from the graduated cylinder. The water’s mass can be found by weighing the cylinder with water and subtracting the mass of the identical empty cylinder. So choice B is correct.
