if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust

How does upthrust vary in liquids of different densities?
we know that a liquid contained in a vessel exerts pressure at all points and in all directions. the pressure at a point in the liquid is same in all directions. it increases with depth inside the liquid. when a body, say a block, is immersed in a liquid, the pressure exerted upwards on the lower surface of the block(which is at a greater depth) is more than the pressure exerted downwards on the upper face of the block(which is at a lesser depth). thus there is a pressure difference between the lower and upper face of the block. since force=pressure x area, the difference between the pressures due to liquid on the two faces of the block causes the net upward force(i.e., upthrust) on the body.
What would cause the density of pennies to vary?
Cents have been made of different metals over the last 150 years, so they'd have both different weights and densities. 1864 - mid-1982 except for 1943 : 95% copper / 5% tin and zinc. 1943 : steel with a thin coating of zinc mid-1982 - present : zinc with a thin coating of copper
Why is volume not always a good way to measure how much mater you have?
Yes, volume is an unreliable measure of the quantity of matter as the same material can have different densities, but the same volume. For example, 1L of ice, water, and steam all contain the same volume of water, but the number of atoms in that volume can vary.
Which expands more liquid or gas?
Liquid can expand upto when it can not acquire its gasseous state, and this vary from liiquid to liquid. The gasseous state already in expanded state allthough it can be expanded infinetly either by releasing the pressure or by applying the temprature. So gas can expand most.
How does the pressure exerted by a liquid vary with direction and depth?
The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with depth. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. The pressure variation with direction is isotropic, meaning it is the same regardless of the direction taken in the liquid.
How can igneous rocks be different densities?
Igneous rocks vary greatly in composition and method of formation, resulting in diverse densities.
Can two unidentified liquids with different densities be the same liquid?
It depends how you mean when you are asking... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical formula?" then the answer is yes, a simple example would be to show how the manganate and permanganate ions both have the formula (MnO4) but have different charges. Therefor, any liquid forms of the formula MnO4 could vary since the two polyatomic ions react very differently, however they would have the same chemical formula technically. However... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical composition (ie be made of the exact same molecules)?" then the answer, unfortunately, is maybe. Temperature and pressure can greatly affect the way molecules bond, and may affect the density. Therefor, if the one liquid was divided and put into two different temperatures and/or pressures then the densities could in theory change. However, this may change the state of the liquid, even possibly turning it into a gas or a plasma, and thus, it would no longer be a liquid. However, the substance would still be the "liquid" that you started with, the difference would be a change in the state of the matter. So to answer your question, yes, two unidentified liquids with different densities can be the same liquid.

How many densities can a given mineral have?
That depends on which form of the mineral. Some minerals have several forms, and the densities vary as the form does.
Density of metal?
It depends on which metal it is because metals vary in their densities.
How many liters of acid are in 1 ton?
The answer will depend on which acid Their densities vary.
How many ml equals 10 pounds?
10 pounds of what? Different liquids have different densities, so the answer will vary significantly. Are they imperial or US pounds? 10 Imperial Pounds of Water has a volume of 45,461 mL.
What is the cubic meter weight of brick?
There are many different types of bricks and their densities vary by up to 50%. It is therefore not possible to give a useful answer to the question without knowing the type of bricks.
Does the drying rate vary with different fabrics?
The drying rate varies with different fabrics because these fabrics vary in the absorbency. Materials that absorb more liquid tend to take the longest to dry.
Does polyethylene--also known as polythene--float?
Yes, barely (in water). Polyethylene (known in Great Britain as polythene) is produced via different methods that result in different densities. In fact, the various polyethylene formulations are named by their relative densities. For example, HDPE is high density polyethylene, and LDPE is low density polyethylene. But all are less dense than water. Where a substance's density is less than that of water (roughly 1 g/cc, depending on temperature), that substance will float in water. Polyethylene densities vary between about 0.88 g/cc and 0.94 g/cc, less than the density of liquid water of any temperature.
How do you convert cm3 to gram?
You have to know the density of the material in order to convert its mass (grammes) to its volume (cm3).
Can the boiling point of a liquid changes with the amount of the liquid?
The boiling point is a physical property of the liquid that is independent on the liquid amount, It may vary with the pressure on the liquid or vary with due to any additives dissolved in the liquid.
