3. Review your flashcards until I am ready to begin.

LESSON:

SLANT:

Finding volume through displacement.

When an object is submerged, it displaces an amount of water equal to its volume.

Water level in a container rises exactly as much as the volume of the object.

The volume of the object is the difference between the starting volume and the ending volume.

• Vo - volume of object

• Vi - initial volume

• Vf - final volume

• Vo = Vf - Vi

Example
