Is a coin more dense than water?

The formula for density is mass divided by volume. If the mass of something increases, the volume will increase by the same degree, so no, a coin (or any object) will not differ in density because it has a larger mass.

How is density related to floating or sinkingin water?

water's density is defined as 1g/mL. if something is more dense then it will sink due to the fact that it weighs more per volume. if something is less dense then it will float because it weighs less per volume than water. Speaking in terms of atoms, if it is more dense than the molecules are closer together and can push the water molecules out of the way (so it goes to the bottom), but less dense the water molecules push against the less dense molecules causing them to rise.


What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?

Why is coconut oil less dense than water though it is thicker than water?

Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.
