Measuring Volume
• Measuring
Length and
volume

• Measuring
• Partially fill the measuring cylinder and
time
record water level (volume).
• Finding

• How to
• Subtract these two values to find object’s
increase
accuracy volume.

• Unit of volume is cubic meter (m3).

• For accuracy

Measuring Time
• There are three devices for measuring time
• Measuring as clock, stopwatch and electronic timer.

• Measuring
time

• Finding
density

• How to • For short time intervals, we use electronic


increase timers like photo-gate which starts and stops
accuracy automatically with sensors.

Bestepe Physics
Measuring Time
• There are two types of clock as digital and
• Measuring analogue.
Length and
volume • A digital clock is one that gives a direct
reading of the time in numbers.
• Measuring
time • An analogue clock is like a traditional clock
needs judgment according to scale.

Bestepe Physics
Density
• Measuring
Length and
volume

• Measuring
time

• Finding
density • It is defined as mass per unit volume.

• How to • It is unique for all materials under same


increase conditions.
accuracy
• SI unit of density is kg/m3

• Low dense materials float on dense liquid.
