for example, i take a piece of aluminum foil and determine it's area by measuring its length and its widthI know that the density for aluminum foil is 2.70 g, so I determine the mass of the aluminum foilNow that I have mass and density, I can calculate the volume for that sheet of aluminum foilNOW, i can find the thickness of the aluminum foil by using the formula T V/A (T as in thickness, V as in volume and A as in area)can I use this method to determine the thickness of an oil spill? if so, how? what pieces of information would I need?
Oh you really screwed it up this timeScience project aret meant to be left for the last minuteA science project like that takes anywhere from 5 days to more than a week And now you want US to help you do what you slacked off? No wayI'm gonna let ya suffer the consequences.
Probably, but you would need to know the volume of oil released, its density (which can vary greatly depending on the hydrocarbon source), and its area (which tends to be irregular).
