Calculate time of solid passing through a liquid with the given values

In summary, the time of a solid passing through a liquid can be calculated using the formula t = L/v, where t is the time in seconds, L is the length of the liquid in meters, and v is the velocity of the solid in meters per second. The units for time in this calculation are seconds, and it can be used for any shape or size of solid as long as it is moving at a constant velocity. If the liquid is not a uniform depth, the average depth can be used in the calculation or it may need to be broken down into smaller sections for more accuracy. Other factors that can affect the accuracy of this calculation include the viscosity of the liquid, the shape and size of the solid, and the presence of

Summary:: We conducted the Marble Race experiment but the data of the time was lost. So I'm wondering if there's a workaround to at least put a rough estimate on it.

How long it would take for the marble that weights 6g with a density of 3.4 to cover a distance of 5.8cm passing through a liquid with 1.345 density in a 200ml container?

This sounds like a homework problem. Is it?

Definitely homework like, somehow I was in a soft mood when I saw it in the morning ;)

FAQ: Calculate time of solid passing through a liquid with the given values

How do you calculate the time of a solid passing through a liquid?

The time of a solid passing through a liquid can be calculated using the formula t = d/v, where t is the time, d is the distance traveled by the solid, and v is the velocity of the solid in the liquid.

What are the given values needed to calculate the time of a solid passing through a liquid?

The given values needed to calculate the time of a solid passing through a liquid are the distance traveled by the solid and the velocity of the solid in the liquid.

How is the distance traveled by the solid determined?

The distance traveled by the solid can be determined by measuring the length of the path it takes through the liquid.

How is the velocity of the solid in the liquid measured?

The velocity of the solid in the liquid can be measured by dividing the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.

Can this formula be used for any type of solid passing through a liquid?

Yes, this formula can be used for any type of solid passing through a liquid as long as the distance and velocity are measured in the same units.
