Volume and area

The units if volume and area are not identical because the numbers of dimension that are used in each of the cases are not equal . Area is the calculation of the overall surface distance while the volume tries to calculate the of the area are in two dimensions thus represented by this fact whether they are calculated in millimeters , centimeters , and meters , kilometers or even miles or feet . For example , the units of an area given dimensions in meters are in m2 . The units of the corresponding volume in

the same units are given in m3

Graphing proportions

The quantities measured in the lab that were directly proportional were the number of swings that the pendulum made against the time it took to make those swings . From the graphical representations it was evident the time taken for a specific number of swings was directly proportional to the number of swings counted

The list of the units of the measurements taken in the lab

Temperature which can be defined as the quantity that that specifies the degree of hotness or coldness of a material . The temperature of the room was measured and found to be approximately 295 Kelvin . Another quantity that was measured is capacity which is the amount of space that is or can be filled by substance . Finally mass was measured that can be defined as the quantity of anything that can occupy space . The results obtain are as given below

Temperature of the room 295K

Mass of one liter of water 1Kg

Volume of an irregular shaped object with a mass of 2kg 2500cm3
