Which has the greater density a kilogram of feathers of kilogram of iron?
Iron has a greater density.
How can be Mercury's average density be 5.4 times that of water?
Earth has an even greater density than Mercury. Presumably, planets a core of dense materials (for example, the density of iron is 8 times that of water), which compensates a lighter (less dense) crust.
Why iron nail sinks in water?
its density is greater than water, so it sinks.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
What do you mean by relative density?
Use a container of a particular size (say 1 cubic metre) fill with water and weigh.The weight (mass) = 1000 kg, so density of water = 1000 kg per cubic metre>Repeat with iron = 7850 kilograms, so density = 7850 kg per cubic metreFor the same volume iron is 7.85 times the mass of waterSo iron is 7.85 times the density of waterRelative density is the density of a material compared to the density of water.
Is aluminum more dense than iron?
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
Which has the greatest density water granite iron or dry air?
its, IRON
Why do steel ships float if the density of iron is much greater than the density of water?
The ships are not made of solid iron. They contain much empty space where the cargo and or passengers go. So the overall density of a ship: its TOTAL mass divided by its TOTAL volume is less than that of water.
Which has higher density iron or carbon or water?
Iron.
How will knowing the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will slow in water?
I am assuming that you mean float (or sink) rather than "slow". Knowledge of density will not help - unless the object is compact. The density of iron is greater than that of water but ships made of iron will float.
How does the density of iron vary with temperature?
Silver is more dense because silver is around 10.5g/cc, an iron around 7g/cc. silver atomic number 47, where as iron is 26. This means the nucleus will be much heavier, but also take up more space.
Which has greater density 100g of feathers or 100g of iron?
Iron. same weight but the iron is more dense. I think
