"Rative Compartive" (Linear and Tables)

7.2: Rising Water LevelsMove the green circle to set the starting level of water to a value you or your teacher choose.
  1. What is the volume, V, in the cylinder after you add:
    1. 3 objects?
    2. 7 objects?
    3. x objects? Explain your reasoning.
  2. If you wanted to make the water reach the highest mark on the cylinder, how many objects would you need?
  3. Plot and label points that show your measurements from the experiment.

  • Label Point
  • Line
  • Segment
  • Aneraldo
  • Point name
  1. Plot and label a point that shows the depth of the water before you added any objects.
  2. The points should fall on a line. Use a ruler to graph this line.
  3. Compute the slope of the line using several different triangles. Does it matter which triangle you use to compute the slope? Why or why not?
  4. The equation of the line in the experiment has two numbers and two variables. What physical quantities do the two numbers represent? What does V represent and what does x represent?
