What are the two factors that determine a materials density of wood?
The two factors that determine a material's density (such as that of wood) are its mass and volume.
How could two pieces of wood of different sizes have the same density?
You are confusing density with weight. Two pieces of wood of the same density but different sizes have different weights. Density, you could say, is like hardness. If you take a 6 foot piece of wood, and cut 2 feet from it, the two pieces of wood are definitely different weights but the same hardness. Since they came from the same original piece of wood, they almost have to be the same density. There are some types of wood that have such high density that they will not float on water.
A piece of wood of relative density 0.25 float in a pail containing oil of relative density 0.81what is the percentage volume of the wood above the surface of the oil?
69.1%
Why does same sized piece of wood is lighter than iron piece?
The wood is "lighter" (weighs less; has less mass) than the iron because of it's density. Iron has a greater density than wood, and density is defined as mass/volume, so having the same volume (size), the iron will have a greater mass.
What are the two factors that determine a materials density?
the pice of wood has a mass of 18 grams calculate it volume and density
What is the density of a piece of wood?
It depends of the piece of wood itself and the type of wood that it is.
What are the two factors that determine a materials density of wood?
The two factors that determine a material's density (such as that of wood) are its mass and volume.
What are the two factors that determine the density of materials?
The two factors that determine a material's density (such as that of wood) are its mass and volume.
What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 3.85 x 104 g and is 84.3 cm x cm x cm?
The density of this piece of wood would be 456.7 g/cm^3.
Why wood floats on water?
the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...

Why does a piece of wood float when a piece of lead sinks and they both have the same volume?
The density of the wood is lower than the density of the water, so the water displaces the wood and is held to the 'floor' by gravity. Lead is more dense, so it can displace the water and sink.
Why does a piece of wood does not float on oil?
because have high density than oil
Does a large piece of wood have a greater density than a small piece of wood?
The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.

69.1%

how much does a 396 cubic feet piece of wood weigh?
The weight of a piece of wood depends on its density. The density varies between species: from 0.16 g/cc for balsa to as much as 1.33 g/cc for lignum vitae.
