No because they are of the same volume but different mass. Pre 1982 pennies were I think 95% copper and 5% zinc. Now they are something like 2% copper and the rest zinc. The density of zinc is 7.13g/cc and copper is 8.92g/cc. They should be less dense no than they were.

How do youfind density with water displacement?

You use the "density heart", which is the following equation:M = D (Mass over volume equals density.)VThe displacement of water is used to determine volume of irregular solids.Pour some measured amount of liquid into a container (any amount, but be sure to measure it) then add the object and measure again. By subtracting the old measurement from the new one, you get the volume that you need to plug into the equation.However, to find density you also have to find mass, which can be found using a tri-beam balance or some such device.


How does the density of the egg compare with the density of the plain water?

A fresh chicken egg will sink, an old egg will float. The egg has an air pocket in the blunt end that grows as the egg dries out.


What is the specific gravity of H2O?

Specific gravity, also known as relative density of water is 1. Actually density of water is SI system of units is 1000 kg/m3. Relative density of any substance is the ratio of its density to that of water. So mercury having 13600 kg / m3 as density would have 13600/1000 = 13.6 as relative density or specific gravity of mercury


What equipment except Archumedes principle that can measure density of material?

An old instrument that works very well for solids and liquids is a pichnometer. It is a glass flask with a defined, exact volume and you determine the density by weighing the pichnometer full of water (known density at a specified temperature), the empty flask and the flask with a small amount of the solid or full of a liquid. Note: The liquid or solid should not dissolve in water. If the do, use a standard liquid of known density that will not dissolve the sample


What does high spec gravity mean?

Specific gravity is the old name for relative density i.e. The density of a fluid relative to that of water. High spec gravity on it's own is relatively meaningless but is a term used in the brewing industry to indicate the strength of the must before fermentation which is indicative of the strength of the finished product.

Does a penny have the same density of a pile of cotton balls?

no because the common denominator take a fraction of 15/100ths which is meaning it can not have the same density of a pile of cotton balls unless they were to be compressed into the right density of the penny: 0.5cm< 0.5> square diameter so no they can'tI'm 8 years old thank you for reading good night!

Do all LG cell phones use the same chargers?

Well all the old Motorola phones have the same chargers and all the new Motorola phones have the same charger so if yo have 1 new Motorola phone and 1 old one then they will not use the same charger cause 1 is old and 1 is new. The reason why the new Motorola phones don't have the same charger as a old Motorola phone is because they have different sized charges.
