i know i fail

 
i care, thank you very much.
and yeah, i dont fully understand the question either. that's all i was given
 
If that's how your instructor worded the question request a new problem. It's vague and really doesn't ask the right question.
 
...i dont even know how to respond to that. how does that even remotely relate to anything i've posted here?you're a fucked up kid justin
 
Yeah^^^, the penny will take up the same amount of space regardless of which substance it is in. The only way for it to take up less space is for it to loose volume. It would physically have to get smaller.
 
See that's the answer that struck me wrong. Obviously OP is in HS, and correct me if I'm wrong, but he's in a physics class also. Why would a teacher ask a basic question like that. Volume is a constant among normal solid objects. You learn that in grade school.
 
well i saw that one coming a mile away.but thank you for caring about me enough to go through my created threads and post the exact same response
 
The question is really vague, but if you throw a coin overboard the waterlevel in the lake will theoretically drop...
Lets say for making it more obvious the coin is replaced with a really heavy weight.if the weight is in the boat it will displace a volume of water equal to the weight of it (since it floats)^^this is a large volume
if you throw it overboard the weight will sink and will only displace its own volume (which is a smaller volume)
the waterlevel in the lake is determined by the watervolume + displaced watervolume by the boat or object....
 
didnt read past this but, since its in the boat, the whole volume wouldnt be displaced by the water, so i think if its int eh water it will displace more water, at least i think thats the answer your teacher is looking for, btu with a penny idk if that would always hold true, cause we dont really know how big "a small boat" is.
 
when the penny was released from your hand, but not in the water yet, the water level would go down a little and then back up when the penny went in the water
 
does it matter if the boat is a small boat or not? i mean, is there a reason why you put "small boat"?
