97% will sink below the water
The block of plastic must be less dense than the water in which it will be placed in order to float. Density is equal to mass over volume (D=m/v), so you could calculate the density of the block of plastic and of a sample of the water by dividing the weight of each sample by the respective volume of each sample. If the density of the plastic is less than the density of the water, it floats! A hint: the maximum density of fresh water occurs at 4 C∘and is equal to 1 gram per 1 milliliter. When a solute - such as salt - is added, the density of water will decrease.
1000 kg/ 2 m3 = 500 kg per cubic meter density or 0.5 g/cm3 or approximately half the density of water
At 25 degrees C the density of water is 1.0 g/mL. If the temperature of the water goes above 25 degrees C the density will drop. If the temperature of the water goes below 25 degrees C the density will rise.
Density = mass/volumeFor the cube of water having a mass of 1g:Volume of a cube of water measuring 1cm X 1cm X 1cm =1cm3.Density = 1g/1cm3 = 1g/cm3For the block of "plasting" having a mass of 4g:Volume of the block of plasting measuring 2cm X 3cm X 1cm = 6cm3.Density = 4g/6cm3 = 0.7g/cm3I will let you decide which has the greatest density.
The formula for calculating density is:density = mass/volumeThe given mass and volume for the block is 455 g and 600 cm3 respectively.Therefore the density of the block is455 g / 600 cm3 = 0.7583 g/cm3 (grams per cubic centimetre)Since the density of freshwater is 1 g/cm3, this block will float because its density is less than that of the water.
No. In fact, it's a question of density not of buoyancy. As it is less dense than the water, the water will sink below the block.
We infer that the density of the block is less than that of water
-- The aggregate density of the wood block is 700/1000 = 0.7 the density of water. -- So, as soon as the wood has displaced 0.7 of its volume in water, it has displaced its entire weight in water, and floats. -- The wood floats with 0.7 of its volume below the surface and 0.3 of its volume above it.
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water.
a block of ebony will sink in water because it's density is 1.2 g/cm3 and the water's density is 1g/cm3
because the density is lower than water.
because the density is lower than water.
A triple-beam balance can be used. The units could be g/ml the density of a normal wood is 0.88 but a wood block in density can be anything under 1 so it can be 0.95,0.54,etc. waters density is 1 and would can float on water so wood is anything below 1.
If the density of the block is less than the density of water, then the block will float. Density of water is close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So measure the block and calculate its volume (Length x Width x Height). Use a scale to find the block's mass. Then divide mass/volume to calculate density. If you've measured in grams and centimeters, then the units will be g/cm³, then compare this to 1 g/cm³.
No. It doesn't matter how heavy a block of wood is, it depends on the density of the wood. Generally wood floats as the density of wood is lighter than the density of the water, so it would float.
Water has a density of exactly 1. Anything below 1 will floatin water.
