Density is weight divided by volume. Weight is measured with a scale. Volume can be calculated if an object has a regular shape, using basic geometry, but if it has an irregular shape, it can be calculated using a graduated cylinder.

Does more dense or less dense objects settle faster?
More dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more or less dense than water?
If its less it floats on the surface of the liquid. If its more it will sink to the bottom.
How call you tell if a substance is more or less dense then water?
if it sinks its more dense if it floats its less dense
Do particles make objects denser?
Particles do make objects denser than they normally may be. For example, if you add particles of salt to water, the water will become more dense. Alternately, if you filter impurities out of water it will become less dense.
Do plates become more dense or less dense when they become cooler?
Cooler material is more dense and hotter material is less. This means that plates become more dense as they cool.
Does more dense or less dense objects settle faster?
More dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
How can you determine whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.

Does water become more or less dense after 3 level spoonfuls of salt were added How do you know?
denser, the buoyancy of objects is one way you can tell the water gets less dense.
What causes sinking?
Density. Objects that are more dense than other less dense objects will sink below them. This is how floating works, as well.
What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?
Objects that float in water are less dense than water; while objects that sink in water are more dense than water.
How can you predict whether objects will float or sink?
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?
Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.
How can you predict whether an object will sink or float?
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects.

Why do objects sink or float in water?
Things will sink if they are denser than water.
