Volume is a measure of how much space an object takes up.

For example two shoe boxes


together have twice the volume of a single box, because they take up twice the amount of

space. Volume of a cube =side times side since each side of a square is
the same it can simply be the length of one side of 4 inch 3D
shapes have volume: the amount of cubic space inside of them. To find volume, you
basically need the three dimensions: length, width, and height. For prisms, the formulas are
derived by taking the area of the shape at the end, and multiplying that times the figure's

height.

The definition of capacity is the ability of someone or something to hold something.
An example of capacity is how many people can fit in a room. An example of capacity is
the amount of water a cup can hold.

An example of capacity is how many people can fit in a room. An example of capacity is the
amount of water a cup can hold. You find the volume of a rectangular container by
measuring its length (l), width (w) and height (h) and multiplying these quantities. Volume = l.
... If you have access to the inside of the container, you can measure the inside dimensions
and calculate capacity directly, using the formula for volume. Mass is a measure of the
amount of matter in an object. Mass is usually measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg)
For example, when wood burns, the mass of the soot, ashes, and gases, equals the
original mass of the charcoal and the oxygen when it first

To find the weight on Planets, we divide the weight on earth by the earth's force of gravity,
which is 9.81m/s2. This calculates the mass of the object. Once we have the object's mass,
we can find the weight by multiplying it by the gravitational force, which it is subject to.

weight as the force exerted on a body by gravity. This is often expressed in the formula W
= mg, where W is the weight, m the mass of the object, and g gravitational acceleration.
