You submerge a piece of clay in water and measure the total volume. You change the shape of the clay and put it back into the same amount of water. Does the mass change? Explain. ANSWER FAST
Yes, the mass would change because the piece of clay is going from a solid to a liquid. Remember that particles in each state are different. In a solid, the particles are held tightly and close together, while in a liquid, they are held loosely.
