Density: Using Experimental Techniques to Solve an Inquiry based problem ABSTRACT The topic of this experiment is Density. The objective is to find two ways in which the density of a given object can be determined‚ and to find out which of the two ways is more accurate and hence better to use in such a case. The two methods used in this experiment are finding the dimensions of the object and water displacement. These are two ways of finding the volume of an object‚ and they were chosen since

10 years old‚ he went away to Alexandria Egypt‚ to study mathematics in depth. His father was an astronomer known as Phidias and made this decision to further his knowledge and gain a great education. He also wanted him to be away from the war. Archimedes is best known for his war machines and was responsible for some of the most smartest inventions of his era. Some being the death ray‚ iron claw‚ and catapults were responsible for killing off large numbers of the Roman army during the war of Syracuse

Archimedes Background/Upbringing Archimedes was one of the most known and respected mathematicians of ancient Greece. He was born between the years of 290 and 280 BCE in Syracuse‚ Sicily which is currently known as Italy. His death took place in Syracuse‚ Sicily between the years of 212 and 211 BCE. In autumn of 212 or the spring of 211 Syracuse was taken over by Roman General Marcus Claudius Marcellus (Encyclopedia Britannica‚ n.d). It was during the cities take over that Archimedes was killed

Value density/ packaging density IBMS 203 Huang Yang 0842317 Value density is defined as the value of a good per pound of weight. For example‚ the value of a pound of diamond which is much higher than the value of a pound of bananas. That is the value density‚ two goods have same size and same weight‚ but they have different values. It is used to determine a product where should be stored and how can it shipped. It can show how important of transportation cost in the total product

be where it is. He also give the names of the people who created the different math techniques so we can blame them. “Archimedes of Syracuse was the quintessential math nerd.” He used math to beat the Romans who were attacking in 212 B.C. He was so engrossed in math that when the Roman invaded‚ he didn’t even notice. He was too busy drawing math in the sand. Stories of Archimedes went around the world until a young French girl named Sophie Germain. Before his untimely death‚ he came precariously

Introduction: Specific gravity or relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water. Temperature and pressure must be specified for both the sample and the reference. The following formula is used- Specific gravity= density of sample/density of same volume of water. Specific gravity is commonly used as a simple means of obtaining information about the concentration of solutions

CH.15 Review Questions Growing Tensions Between North and South 1. How did the North and the South differ in the 1840s? In the 1840s‚ the North and the South differed because the North had slaves and the South didn’t. 2. How did Southerners react to the Wilmot Proviso? The way the Southerners reacted to the Wilmot Proviso was that they were mad because the government was taking what Southerners thought was their property. 3. What was Stephen A. Douglas’s role in passing the

Archimedes of Syracuse (pronounced ar-ka-meed-eez) He is considered one of the greatest mathematicians in history. In fact‚ he is believed to be one of the three greatest mathematicians along with Isaac Newton and Carl Gauss. His greatest contributions to mathematics were in the area of Geometry. Archimedes was also an accomplished engineer and an inventor. He was believed to have been obsessed with Geometry though. Archimedes was born in Syracuse‚ Greece in 287 BC and died 212 BC after being

Title Page Density Formal Lab Report Name Professors Name Date Purpose/Objective: Determine density of a product for a plastic manufacturing facility. Provide quality control by making sure the physical properties are within design specifications. Density is defined as the ratio of an object’s mass to its volume‚ measured by dividing mass by volume (density = mass/volume). This was accomplished using two different experimental methods‚ displacement and floatation. The theory is that
