What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
How does energy and speed relate?
The speed of a wave is a property of the medium, changing the speed would need a change in the medium itself. If the medium doesn't change as a wave moves, the wave speed is steady. Formula: Speed = distance divided by time
How does the density of each material relate to how high it floats in the water?
if its heavier than water it sinks. lighter floats
How are weight of mass relate to density?
Density has dimensions - for instance grammes per cubic centimetre. Relative density is dimensionless - it is a density compared to another density - it is a dimensionless ratio. Normally the ratio is based on water, which has a density of 1g/cm3, so density and relative density are usually the same number - one with units, one without.
How does buoyancy and density relate to the world?
Any substance that does not dissolve when placed in water will displace a certain volume. The volume of water that is displaced has a certain weight and the equivalent of that weight of water creates a buoyant force on the object. If the density of the object is less than the density of water then the buoyant force will be enough to make the substance float.
How does size relate to density?
Density = Mass/Volume or mass/size.
Does density relate to how heavy an object is?
No . Mass
How does crater density relate to the moons geologic history?
The greater the crater density, the older the surface must be old.
Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?
size does not relate to density
How would density relate to liter?
Liter is a measure of volume. Volume = mass/density.
How does physical science relate to mass volume and density?
The density is the ratio between mass and volume. So density = mass / volume
Does density relate mass to volume?
D=m/v Density equals mass divided by volume.
What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
How does crater density relate the the moons geologic history?
The greater the crater density, the older the surface must be old.
How do density and volume relate?
Density is mass divided by volume (D = m/V); in other words, density is the mass of an object in a specific volume.
How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
Relate the speed of sound to different mediums?
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels in it.
