No, density refers to the amount of matter that can fit into a specific volume. It is found by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume.

What is the word meaning how soft or hard an object is?
dense or density
What does density refer to?
Density can be defined as mass over volume:D=M/V.
What is the amount of substance in a given volume?
That can refer either to the mass, or to the amount of moles.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
An object will float if?
density of the object < density of the fluid
How do things sink and float?
it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it's in. if the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, then the object will sink. if the density of the object is lesser than the density of the liquid, the object will float.
If an object is very dence does that mean it is harder?
Yes, That is True. eg; That has a Density Rating. a Rating for How Hard it is
How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
How do you figure out density?
To find the density of an object, you have to divide the mass of the object by the volume of the object.
Whether an object will sink or float?
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
