How could two pieces of wood of different sizes have the same density?
You are confusing density with weight. Two pieces of wood of the same density but different sizes have different weights. Density, you could say, is like hardness. If you take a 6 foot piece of wood, and cut 2 feet from it, the two pieces of wood are definitely different weights but the same hardness. Since they came from the same original piece of wood, they almost have to be the same density. There are some types of wood that have such high density that they will not float on water.
Why does a block of wood floats in water?
Because any amount of wood weighs less than the same amount of water does.Which is just an easier way of saying that the density of almost all varieties of woodis less than the density of water.
Why does same sized piece of wood is lighter than iron piece?
The wood is "lighter" (weighs less; has less mass) than the iron because of it's density. Iron has a greater density than wood, and density is defined as mass/volume, so having the same volume (size), the iron will have a greater mass.
Why wood swim on the water?
Wood has a lower density than water, and thus the upward buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the weight of the wood submerged. The density of wood less than water, all things are less than water density can float on the water
Why wood floats in water?
Wood mostly floats in water because it has a lower density than water. it is NOT lighter than water, it is LESS DENSE. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm cubed. that means wood usually has a density of .99 or less. But, not all wood floats, keep that in mind
Which has a higher density a 5-g wood block on a 10g wood block of same material?
-5

Does a large piece of wood have a greater density than a small piece of wood?
The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.
How can the density of copper be greater than the density of plastic and wood?
The secret is that copper packs more mass than wood or plastic do into the same volume.
The density of water is 62.5 the specific gravity of the wood is 55 what is the density of the wood?
well the density of water is 1, so you divide 62.5 by 62.5 and get 1, and you have to do the same thing to the wood so, 55 divided by 62.5 equals 0.88g/cc

Why did different size of blocks of wood have the same density?
Density isn't determined by the size of the specimen but by its mass per unit of volume. An oak branch has the same density as the whole tree it came from--the weights are vastly different, but density is the same.
Why does same sized piece of wood is lighter than iron piece?
The wood is "lighter" (weighs less; has less mass) than the iron because of it's density. Iron has a greater density than wood, and density is defined as mass/volume, so having the same volume (size), the iron will have a greater mass.
What is the density of hickory wood?
The density of hickory wood is .89.
What is the density of a wood chip?
the density is in the middle of the wood chip
