What is a sentence using the word density?
The density of most woods is lighter than water, so they float. The mass of an object divided by its volume is its density.
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.
How do you figure out mass of an object?
well there really isn't a formula, but i suggest using a balance, if the object isn't to heavy. the formula for density is mass/volume, but density and mass are different concepts
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.
How do you you find the density of an object by comparing it to another known density of a solution?
If your experiment shows that your unknown material has twice the density of your known material, you can simply look up the density of the control material and double it (or multiply by whatever the ratio is). This will give you the density of the unknown and you can attempt to identify it by looking for this number in a density table.
Is density a good way to identify a substance?
Yes, it is possible. To identify an object using its density you need only a few things: an accurate scale to find the mass of the object; a graduated cylinder large enough to accommodate whatever object you have; the object itself; and a liquid. Any liquid can be used for this, however, if the object floats then the calculation becomes slightly more complicated. I use water. First weigh the object, then immerse it in the liquid. Note how much water is displaced. Divide the mass of the object by the volume of the liquid and you'll find the density. Then compare that density to the list of known densities to identify the object. Pretty simple! physical and chemical properties can be uesed to identify substance. I used: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5187289_density-used-identify-substances.html Ans: Not sure you can actually identify the substance from its density alone: you would have to know its state too. For example, water in gaseous form would be an entirely different density to water in solid form wouldn't it? So no, you cannot identify a substance from its density, without other information. The best way to identify a substance is often through spectroscopy, in which the radiation either absorbed or given off from a chemical can determine which substances are present. This is what happens for the sun.
How do you calculate the density of a non-uniform object?
The density of a non-uniform object can be found by using its mass and volume. The volume can be measured by placing the object in volumetric glassware filled with water. The increase in volume is equal to the volume of the object. The object can then be weighed using a scale. The density of the object will be given by the ratio of mass / volume.
How does an object float?
An object floats when the objects density is LESS than the liquid your using.
How do you find the density of an object using the formula?

How can knowing density of the object help you identify what the object is made of?
Well, I think it helps you identify if the objects in the object are dense or not. Just sometimes things make things denser or thinner. I hope this helps and it's not TOO confusing!

Would an object float at 3.684 density?
It isn't clear what units you are using, what liquid you are placing it in, and whether that is the density of the object or of the liquid. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
How much salt does it take to make a solid object float?
It depends on the density of the object you are using
Is density measured by width?
That object would have to be a solid using the lengthxwidthxheight.

How do you find the mass of an object using the volume and density?
Mass = Volume*density PROVIDED those measures are in comparable units.
