Is polystyrene less dence than water?
yes polystyrene is ls less dence than water because it floats
If an object is very dence does that mean it is harder?
Yes, That is True. eg; That has a Density Rating. a Rating for How Hard it is
Is ice or water less dence?
ICE ... Think of a glass of water with ice cubes in it. They float! Water actually expands when it is frozen, making it less dense.
What does it mean when an object has less density then the liquid it is in?
it means the liquid is heavier. It floats in the liquid.
When an object floats what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
Do different temperatures affect water density?
Yes. When water freezes, it becomes less dence and floats. When warm, or room temperature, it is liquid and is more dense. This is a rare quality among substances, where most do the opposite and become more dence when they freeze.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
How an object floats in liquid?
i think you mean how does an object float if you did here is the answer most solids float on liquid because it has air in it (sponge) or it is lighter than the liquid.
What determains if an object floats or sinks?
The Density.
Which property of an object will never affect whether the object sinks or floats?
Color
When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
