Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
How does density work?
Ok, say you have a hollow log. Now say you stuffed it with cotton. The more that is in the log, it gets heavier. That is how density works.
What is the gravitational field inside a hollow sphere?
If the planet is a hollow shell, of any thickness but with a hole in the middle, and the material in the shell is evenly distributed (homogeneous, or of uniform density), then there is zero gravity anywhere inside the shell.
How can a ship float on the ocean if it ways like a ton or more?
The shape of the ship allows it to float. Imagine a ship that was just a big block of steel, If you put that steel block into water, it would sink because it is denser than water. Ships are built with a hollow shape. The amount of steel is the same, but the hollow shape decreases the boat's density. Water is denser than the hollow boat, so the boat floats. Shaping the block into a hollow form increases the volume occupied by the same mass, which results in a reduced overall density. The ship floats because it is less dense than water.
Can a copper penny and a copper large ball have the same density?
Not necessarily. While copper always has the same density (apart from thermal expansion) , a copper ball may be hollow. Modern pennies are not made entirely of copper, but rather have a thin copper coating while the rest of the coin is zinc, which is somewhat less dense.
What is the population density of Half Tree Hollow?
Half Tree Hollow's population density is 563.1 people per square kilometer.

Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water

What is the density of a hollow golf ball?
The density of a golf ball with the full contents is about .65 ounces per cubic inch. With the air inside, a golf ball will have a much smaller density, though due to the layers found in a golf ball, this will vary based on how 'hollow' the ball is made, as well as what manufacturer is used.
Would the density of a hollow object be higher or lower?
the density would be the SAME this is because density is actually how tightly the atoms are packed into a certain element/compound. density is taken as the formula : Density = Mass/Volume (in this case the air inside of the hollow object would not count) e.g. a 1000 bricks stacked up would be the same density as a room made out of 1000 bricks, do you understand? same with stack ems i think what you are referring to is buoyancy perhaps??
Why do fiber glass goats float?
There average density, probably because they are hollow, is lower than the density of the fluid they are floating on. When this occurs the goats are said to be buoyant.
How do calculate volume in relation to density and mass?
you can multiply density and mass together to calculate the volume. The equation is v=dxm.
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
How can something with a big volume have low density?
It could be hollow, or could consist of a material like aerogel, which is mostly air
Will the hollow point stop on inpact in wood?
No, it'll penetrate. How deep it penetrates depends on the projectile itself and density of the wood.
What are the limitations of atomic absorption spectrometry?
Atomic absorption spectrometry can only be used for metallic elements. Each element needs a different hollow cathode lamp for its determination.
