Why won't an ice cube float in alcohol?
The ice sinks in alcohol because the density of the ice is greater than the density of the alcohol.
Why can you lift a rock in water but a rock will not float?
A rock has more density than water. That's why it drops. Its easier to lift it in water because water's density is greater than that of air, so the net buoyancy of the rock, though still negative, is greater than it is in air.
Do ice and water have the same density?
no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks... Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.
What has a greater density 20 kilograms of feathers 20 kilograms of balloons 20 kilograms of rock or 20 kilograms of plastic bottles?
Density = (mass) / (volume) Greater density corresponds to either greater mass in the same volume, or same mass in smaller volume. Any way you look at it, rock is the winner, over feathers, balloons, or plastic bottles.
Does density have an effect on ice?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
Which has the greater density water or ice?
Water
Why does a ice cube fall in air?
B/c the density of the ice cube is greater than the density of the air.
Is the density of the inner Galilean satellites greater than the outer satellites?
Yes. The density of the Galilean moons decreases with increasing distance from the planet. This decrease in density is likely due to the higher ice-to-rock ratio in the farther moons.
When a rock is sinking in the water what dense does it have?
the rock has greater density than the water
What is the only substance that has a greater density as a liquid than a solid?
Water has higher density than ice. That is why ice floats on water.
Why won't an ice cube float in alcohol?
The ice sinks in alcohol because the density of the ice is greater than the density of the alcohol.
Does the rock have lower density than a marble?
the rock has a greater volume than the marble
If you have two rocks rock A and rock B Rock A is bigger but has the same mass as rock B How will the density of the two rocks compare?
The density of rock B is greater because its volume is less.
Do silicate rocks have greater or lesser density than moon and earths density?
Less than. The moon rock density is greater in ferromagnesion and nickel content, with greater density, whereas silicate rocks contain largely quartz and feldspar minerals.
