Question

If an object is floating in water, how does the mass of the object affect the volume of water it displaces? Choose one of these quantities to vary (independent variable), one quantity to observe (dependent variable), and one quantity to hold constant. Independent variable: Weight of the object Dependent Variable: Volume of water displaced Constant: Water Choose one of the following experimental questions for this lab, or make up your own based on the topics discussed in the pre-lab. 1. "If an object is floating in water, how does the mass of the object affect the volume of water it displaces?" 2. "How does the volume of saltwater displaced by a particular object depend on the concentration of salt in the water?" 3. "How does the density of a fluid affect the volume displaced by a particular object placed in the fluid?" Write down your choice. It will be your experimental question for the lab. If an object is floating in water, how does the mass of the object affect the volume of water it displaces?" Try to predict the answer to the experimental question. Explain your reasoning (you could include knowledge from class, everyday experience, other fields / courses, textbook/web research, etc.) This is your hypothesis.

displaces?

Choose one of these quantities to vary (independent variable), one quantity to observe (dependent
variable), and one quantity to hold constant.

Independent variable: Weight of the object

Dependent Variable: Volume of water displaced

Constant: Water
