An example of a density higher than 1?
Water has a density of 1 - therefore anything that sinks in water (e.g. iron with a density of 7.874) has a density higher than 1 and anything that floats in water has density less than 1.
Is it true that A ship is able to float on water because it has a higher density than the water?
No it has a higher density than water but the air in the ship helps.
What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
Does lead have a higher density than water?
yes
Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?
no
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
Oak wood floats in water and not in petrol?
because the density of oak wood is less than the water and greater than the petrol.

Why is the density of ocean water greater than tap water?
because salt is higher density than water and dissolves in the water, increasing density
How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
Will ice float in gasoline?
No, the density of frozen water is less than petrol's.
How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?
If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.
What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
What is the density of an egg and salt?
Salt water has a higher density than the egg.
Does lead have a higher density than water?
yes
Does Mercury have a higher density than water?
yes
