Pumice is a volcanic rock that floats Its density is?
With out knowing further knowledge about the rock it is unable to determine the exact density. However, since the rock floats, presumably in water, the density must be less then 1.00g/L.
What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.68 gcm3 and a mass of 430 g?
116.8478 cubic centimeters (approximately) You can determine this by dividing the mass by the density.
What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
How might density be important for a geologist examining country rock for a mining company?
density can be used for gravitational acceleration, you will need to know the density of the country rock and that of the body of interest to give you sigma which is the density change, you can then go on to work out the graph and determine the size and depth of the body.
How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
How do you figure out the weight of a rock?
You could weigh it. You can also determine its density by comparing it to an equal volume of water, but first you would have to determine how much water it displaces to determine its volume.
How do you determine the density of a rock 5 grams and 1 milliliter?
The same way you determine the density of any other object. Divide the mass by the volume. Add: density = mass/volume = 5g/1mL = 5g/mL = 5g/cm3* *1mL = 1 cm3
What makes a small rock sink?
It's weight. The general rule is that an object will sink if it has a density greater than the liquid in which it is placed.
How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped rock?
Not always easy. Since density is defined as the mass of a unit volume of material,you would measure the volume of the rock by putting it into a container half filled with water and then measure the volume change.
Why would you want to find volume of any object?
If you want to determine the density of an object, you would measure the mass and volume, then divide mass/volume to determine density. This can help determine the composition of the object. For example, if you find a rock that looks like a gold nugget. The density of gold is a known value, so one of the tests in determining if you are holding real gold would be to determine the density of your rock. This is one example. Another (maybe more 'real world' for you). Shipping and cargo companies measure the volume of packages as they go by on the conveyor belt, so that they can figure how many will fit in a particular truck.
What 2 factors determine the density of an object?
The mass divided my the volume determine the density of an object
What is the only rock that has less density in water?
The density of an object is constant, therefore, no rock can have less density in water.
