no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense

How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
put them both in a tub of water and if one floats its not as dense as the other if it sinks its more dense
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Is the Earth more dense than the water?
BAA. Yes, the Earth's density (compared to water) is around 5.5 times more dense than water.
Bubbles rise in water because they a. are so tiny b. less dense than water c. more dense than water d. fluids?
Bubbles rise in water because they are less dense than water. The buoyant force pushes the lighter bubble upwards through the denser water.
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Why do rubber bands float sometime and sink sometime?
Rubber bands float or sink based on their density compared to water. If a rubber band is less dense than water, it will float. However, if it is more dense than water, it will sink. This can vary depending on factors like the size and shape of the rubber band.
What force acts on a hand in a rubber glove when it is dipped in water?
Pressure caused by the more dense (water) substance surrounding the gloved hand.
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
What substance is least dense rubber copper wood or mercury?
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.
Is a magnet more dense than water?
No, a magnet is not more dense than water. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, and the density of water is greater than that of most metals, including magnets.
Which is most dense ice or water?
Water is more dense.
Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
Is oil more dense than water?
no, oil is not more dense than water
How much more dense is water than water?
Water is 784 times more dense than water.
Is salt the reason that things float?
not exactly. things that are less dense than water float. salt makes water more dense and therefore more things can float in it. ============================= (Notice that your rubber duckie floats in the bathtub, even though t here's no salt in your bath.)
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water is more dense than warm less salty water. This is because cold water is more dense than warm water in general, and saltier water is also denser than less salty water.
