What metal is heavier than lead but lighter than tungesten?
tungsten is more more heavier han the lead as it has great mass in less volume
Why is ice heavier than lead?
It isn't. How did you get that idea? Ice is much lighter than lead, for the same volume.
What will happen when an object's mass increases?
When an object's mass increases, it will be attracted more strongly towards otherobjects with mass, most noticeably the Earth.It will require more energy to change the heavier object's velocity (accelerate it).When in motion at a given velocity it will have more energy than a lighter objecttraveling with the same velocity.If the heavier object has the same volume as when it was less massive, the densitywill have increased.
If an object takes up more space than another object what will it have?
Greater volume than the other object.
Explain why the following reasoning is wrong. You should be heavier at midnight and lighter at noon?
Because mass for a specific object can't change, only volume can change. This means you could expand and feel lighter (as a result of lower density), or contract and feel heavier (as a result of higher density), however, your actual mass would stay the same. The real answer has nothing to do with feelings or density. The reasoning is correct. You are lighter at noon because of the gravitational pull exerted by the sun.
If Object A and Object B both have the same volume but object B has a greater mass which object is more dense?
object B has greater density recall the formula for density is = mass/volume since volume is the same, a greater mass will give a greater density
How can you make a substance with greater density greater than water float?
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
What is the effect of density on the ability an object has to float?
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of an object. When the density of an object is high, it is heavier per unit volume. Thus when the density of an object is greater than that of water, it will sink in water. Conversely, when it is lower than that of water, it will float on water.
which of these objects most likely float?
Any with a density less than water, or, like a metal ship, an object with a shape which makes its volume greater than the volume of water that it displaces and is sealed so that water will not flow into it.
Is it right to say an object sinks in a liquid because it is heavier than the liquid?
No. That is informal language, and not entirely correct. The object sinks if it has a greater density than the liquid. Density is the weight (or mass) per unit volume.
What metal is heavier than lead but lighter than tungesten?
tungsten is more more heavier han the lead as it has great mass in less volume
Would an object that a had a lower density than another item be lighter or heavier than the other item?
given the two objects are of equal volume, the one with a lower density would would weigh less.
Why is ice heavier than lead?
It isn't. How did you get that idea? Ice is much lighter than lead, for the same volume.
How many times lighter or heavier than a liter is a centiliter?
It is inappropriate to be talking about "lighter" or heavier" with regard to liters and centiliters (or milliliters or deciliters, etc.) Why? Because the liter (and its fractional parts) is a unit of volume or capacity, not weight. You may say that a liter is 100 times greater in volume than a centiliter. You could say that a liter is ten times greater in volume than a deciliter. You could also say that a deciliter is ten times greater in volume than a centiliter. But one is not necessarily heavier or lighter than another. Unless, of course, you have a liter and centiliter of the same substance! A liter of water, for example, will be 100 times heavier than a centiliter of water -- as long as both are at identical temperatures. (Water at 4 degrees Celsius is denser than water at higher and lower temperatures, so a liter of water at 4 degrees C will weigh more than 100 times a centiliter of water at higher or lower temps.)
An object that takes up more space than another object has greater what?
Volume
