A student drops several objects of the same size into a bucket of water from a height of 2 meters. She ranks the splash size from 1-4, with 1 being the smallest splash and 4 being the largest splash. Which object most likely has the greatest mass?

O object Z

O object X

O object W

O object Y

Answer 1

In this scenario, the size of the splash is generally related to the mass of the object being dropped. Heavier objects tend to create larger splashes when they hit the water because they displace more water upon impact.

If the objects are of the same size and shape but vary in mass, the object that creates the largest splash (ranked as 4) would most likely be the heaviest object. Therefore, without knowing the specific rankings for each object, you can infer:

• The object that correlates with the largest splash size rank (4) is the object with the greatest mass.

If you have specific rankings for objects X, Y, Z, and W, then the answer would be the object associated with the rank of 4. If not, you can make an educated guess based on which object is likely the heaviest.
