Can containers that have different shapes have the same volume?
It is not true. Imagine each container displaces one liter and that we are feeding these containers with a constant-speed pump running at one liter per minute. It will then take one minute to fill either of those two containers; their shape has nothing to do with it.
Why does the shape of the container make a difference?
By the end of this investigation students will understand that liquids take the shape of their containers, that a standard–sized container makes it easier to compare volumes, and that volume is conserved no matter what container holds the liquid.
What is the capacity of containers?
The capacity of a container is another word for the volume of material it will hold. It’s usually measured in liters or gallons. It isn’t the same as the volume the container would displace it you immersed it in water.
How is the volume of a container different from its capacity?
Volume is the amount of space a container or object occupies. Capacity is the amount of water required to fill the fish tank (ml or L).
How does the container have something to do with the shape and volume of the matter?
If something is in a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The liquid will flow out over the surface because it does not retain its shape. A liquid takes that shape of its container. If something is in a liquid state of matter, it will have a definite volume, but an indefinite shape.
How is the shape of solid matter different from the shape of liquids and gases?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.
Which container has the most capacity?
Maersk Triple E Class: 18,270 TEU MV Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller is the world’s biggest container vessel with a carrying capacity of 18,270 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). It is the lead ship of Maersk’s Triple E class of container vessels.
Are capacity and volume the same?
Volume and capacity are properties of three-dimensional objects. Volume is the space that a three-dimensional object occupies or contains; capacity, on the other hand, is the property of a container and describes how much a container can hold.
What is the difference between volume and capacity Example?
Consider for example that there is a tank that is filled with water. Hence, the volume refers to the space that is occupied by both the tank and the water, inside the tank, whereas, its capacity refers to the quantity of the water that is needed to fill the tank.
What are the similarities between volume and capacity?
Volume indicates the total amount of space covered by an object in three-dimensional space. Capacity refers to the ability of something (like a solid substance, gas, liquid) to hold, absorb or receive by an object. Both solid and hollow objects have volume. Only hollow objects have the capacity.
