Can the water displacement method be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in the water such as a cork?
Yes, the water displacement method can be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in water. To do this, you would need to measure the volume of the water displaced by the object when it is submerged, and then divide the object's mass by this volume to find its density.
How do you find density of object that floats?
To find the density of an object that floats, you can use the formula density = mass/volume. First, measure the mass of the object using a scale. Then, submerge the object in water and measure the volume of water displaced, which is equal to the volume of the object. Finally, divide the mass of the object by its volume to calculate the density.
How do you find density of an object in water?
To find the density of an object in water, first measure the mass of the object using a scale. Then, measure the volume of the water displaced by the object when it is submerged. Divide the mass of the object by the volume of water displaced to calculate the density of the object in water.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
If an object floats on water, it means its density is less than that of water. You can calculate the density of the object by comparing its weight to its volume, using the formula density = mass/volume. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, so if the object floats on water, its density will be less than 1 g/cm^3.
An object that floats on the surface of water?
the amount of density
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water
What is the density of an object that floats in H2O?
Water has a density of exactly 1. Anything below 1 will floatin water.
How can you find the density of an object if the only equipment you have is water and a container?
You cannot unless the object is insoluble in water and it floats in water, and that the container is graduated so that you can read off the volume of water in it.If so,partially fill the container and record the level of water,gently lower the object and measure the new level of water,still gently push the object into the water until it is wholly submerged and record the water level again.Mass of object = measure 2 - measure 1Volume of object = measure 3 - measure 1and then, density = mass/volume.
