Act 2 Measurement Act Sheet

The document is a laboratory report that measures the dimensions and calculates the volumes and densities of three objects: a marble, coin, and block of wood. It provides the mass, measuring device used, and average dimensions from three trials for each object. It then shows the calculations for volume and density of each object. Volumes were calculated using formulas for a sphere (marble), circle (coin), and rectangular prism (wood). This demonstrates measuring different regular shapes and calculating physical properties.

Questions / Applications
1 How do you determine the volume of the following regularly-shaped object?

a) Rectangular block- Volume of Rectangular Block (V) = L × W × H Where, L =


Length W = Width H = Height

b) Cylinder- height x π x (diameter / 2) 2 or height x π x radius 2 (where (diameter /


2) is the radius of the base (d = 2 x r))

c) Sphere - V=4/3 π r^3

2 Why is it best to take the readings one or two scales over the endmost of the
meterstick?

Because due to the manufacturing process or to the wearing-down of the


meterstick with use, using one or two scales enables us to correctly measure an object
accurately without having zero-error

3 Which among the measuring devices would you consider to be the most
appropriate in measuring

a) rectangular objects? Ruler

b) cylindrical objects? Radius - Vernier Caliper; Thickness - Micro Caliper

c) spherical objects? Vernier Caliper or Pi Tape


Generalization:
its Concepts Objects have properties or attributes that can be measured with different
accuracies depending on the selection and use of a measurement system, units, tools,
and purpose of the measurement.
