Will plastic float in water?
Some plastics will float in water and others will sink. It depends on the type of plastic and in particular it depends on the density of the plastic material. This property is used as a method for separating the different plastics sent for recycling. Polyethylene and Polypropylene, for example, will float in water while PVC and ABS will sink.
Density symbol in physics?
Hello,yes it is a type of science physics.It means that density is like.....for example if i get an orange or an unpeeled orange and the orange floats and the unpeeled one doesnt why??Cause the water has less density then the unpeeled orange -Nicole
What do you mean by 'mass'?
'Mass' is a type of density.
What type of property is a change of state?
Change of state of a substance is a physical property!
What type of science applies to density?
Density is a unit defined by the mass of an object divided by its volume. It is symbolised by ρ (rho) and it is commonly utilised in fluid mechanics.
What are the two type of changes?
The two types of physical properties are intensive and extensive. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an intensive property is density. Extensive properties do depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an extensive property is mass.
What type of property dependent on the amount of matter?
Colligative Properties
Does density vary with the of volume of a body?
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume.The density of an object varies inversely with its volume.Thus, if you can compress and object, like a sponge, you can increase its density.Normally, we say the density of a type of material is an intrinsic property, i.e. if you have a big piece of it or a small piece of it, they both have the same density because the large piece has a proportionately larger volume than the small piece.So, a gallon of water has the same density as a milliliter of water.Note the distinctions here.1. An object, like a car, can be made of many different materials and the object, as a whole, has some density which is the mass of the car divided by the volume of the car. If you crush the car, you increase its density.2. Each type of material also has a density. The glass in the window of the car has its own density, a property inherent in that type of glass. The steel in the car has the density of steel, a property inherent in that type of steel.If you have a type of material and you compress it, you increase its density.If you don't compress it, then two different pieces of the same uniform material, large or small, will have the same density under the same conditions of pressure and temperature. That is what we mean by density is an intrinsic property of a material.
Which mineral property depends on bond type and the spacing of atoms within the crystal?
The hardness, density, and crystal structure.
What property is generally least useful in identifying minerals?
Density is the least useful property for identification because different specimens of the same type of mineral can vary in size. -Color is the least useful property for identification because it is the most obvious property.
What property can be observed without destroying the substance?
This type of property is a physical property.
Is buoyancy a chemical property?
Yes, buoyancy is considered a physical property. It is a type of physical property because it is related to the density and weight of the item, which are both physical.
What is the phenomenon of seismic waves bending as they go from material of one density to a different density is?
This property is known as refraction. It applies to any type of waves. the angle of refraction is determined by Snell's Law: sin i/ sin r = refraction index
What is an example for an intensive property?
Intensive properties are those properties that are independent of mass or size. Examples would be temperature, density, etc. Regardless of how much you have, the density is the same, and the temperature is the same.
1 Bending a copper wire is an example of what type of property?
It is a physical property. Malleability is a physical property in lots of metals (including copper). It is not a characteristic property, because it is not unique to copper. (Other metals share the same property).
What type of property of matter is independent of the quantity of the substance?
density, melting point, boiling point, chemical composition, electrical properties, thermal properties and the others
What will be the displayed value in an integer type of field with format example property set as 0.00 if you enter a value 1234?
1234.00
