Question3) If during the submerged weighing procedure air bubbles were to adhere to the obje how would the experimental results be affected?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The submerged weighing procedure is used to determine the buoyant force on an object.
2. Air bubbles adhering to the object affect the volume of water displaced.
3. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water.
STEP 2
1. Understand the effect of air bubbles on the submerged weighing procedure.
2. Analyze how air bubbles affect the experimental results.
STEP 3
Consider the role of air bubbles in the submerged weighing procedure. Air bubbles adhering to the object reduce the effective volume of the object submerged in water.
STEP 4
Analyze the impact of reduced submerged volume. Since the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, air bubbles reduce the amount of water displaced, leading to a lower buoyant force measurement.
STEP 5
Determine the effect on experimental results. A lower buoyant force measurement suggests that the object is less dense than it actually is, leading to an underestimation of the object's density.
The presence of air bubbles adhering to the object during the submerged weighing procedure would result in an underestimation of the object's density.
