Which has a greater density a lake full of water or a cup full of water?

Density is weight by unit of volume, its only dependent on the liquid, not how much of it there is. If you fill the cup from the lake both the water in the cup and the water in the lake will have the same density. But if the water in the cup is from the ocean, and the lake is a freshwater lake, then the water in the cup will have a higher density.

∙ 6y agoSince it is the same substance, at equal conditions (for example, you can assume that the temperature is similar), the density will be the same.

What will happen if the density of surface water in the lake does not change?
The water will be calm, because a change in density causes water to move and can also cause deep water currents
Would a ship will float more in salt water or fresh water?
The more salt in water the more buoyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea. Most salt content in any lake or sea.The density of the salt water is greater than the density of an object. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the item doesn't float in freshwater.We call the amount of mass in a given amount of space the density. For instance, we could measure the mass of fresh water (like water from a stream) in a container. We could then determine the density if fresh water. However, if we filled the same container with salt water, it would have more mass because the ocean water has the mass of pure water plus the mass of the salt.Since there is more mass in the same volume, ocean water has a greater density then fresh water.For something to float, it must have a density less than in what it is floating. This means that steam, which is less dense than air, rises (or floats) in the air.It may seem odd that an enormous ship can float when steel is denser than water. However, if you look at the entire ship you see that there are many places filled with things less dense than water, like air. This means that the density of the entire ship is less dense than that of water and it floats.
What hapens to the density if both the volume and mass are doubled?
If you double the volume of a sample ... scoop up twice as much of it ... the mass of the sample always doubles. But the density of the substance doesn't change. Think about it: The density of some water out of my dog's water bowl is the same as the density of some water out of Lake Michigan.
What happens when an object sinks?
An object that has a "net density" greater than the liquid it is placed in will normally sink to the bottom of the container. In some cases, usually for small objects, the surface tensionof the liquid will keep it afloat, but that can change (e.g. adding soap to water reduces surface tension).When sunken, the object is DISPLACING its net volume of liquid. When an object floats, it is only displacing its net weight of liquid.For example, an open steel canoe floats on a lake because its interior contains air, making its net density lower than water. The canoe will sink down partly into the water, and displace a mass of water equal to the mass of the canoe and its occupants. If it is overloaded, and water enters the canoe, it will sink to the bottom of the lake, its net density now being greater than water. The occupants will swim away, and the canoe is now only displacing its net volume (i.e. of the sides and bottom of the boat, and any small closed spaces that water cannot enter).
How does the density of water compare to that of an ice cube?
The density of liquid water is nearly 1000 kg/m3. (1 gram/cubic centimeter) The density of ice is 916.7 kg/m3 at 0 °C kg/m3. Therefore ice floats in water.The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3). The density of fresh water is dependent on the temperature (and on any solutes): At 3.98 degrees Celsius the density is 999.975 kilograms per cubic meter. At 100 degrees Celsius the density is 958.35 kilograms per cubic meter.
Why is it easier to float in the Atlantic Ocean compared to Lake Erie?
Salt water has a greater density than freshwater does.
What is the water density of Sea of Galilee?
The water density depends on the temperature of the lake water already in the Sea of Galilee, also called Lake Kinneret, and the temperature of the river water coming from the Jordan River. Lake KinneretÕs water density averages around 0.99991 kilograms per Liter.
How do particle size and density affect the layering of lake beds?
The more the mass the greater the density so they settle down
What would be the volume of water in a lake?
It depends on the lake, the larger and deeper the lake, the greater the volume.
Which state has a gigantic lake full of salty water?
Utah is the state that has a gigantic lake full of salty water. The Great Salt lake is the largest salt water lake in the Western Hemisphere, and the fourth-largest terminal lake in the world.
Why does an egg sink in fresh water but floats in salt water?
Eggs, water, floating.An egg doesn't float in fresh water but since salt water is more dense than fresh water, it has a better chance of floating in the salt water. The greater buoyant force allows the egg to float in the salt water, if salty enough.More explanationAn egg sinks in fresh water but not in salt water because fresh water is not as dense. In order for something to float, the buoyant force has to be greater than or equal to the weight of the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. To figure out the weight of the water displaced you multiply the density of the water by the volume and then multiply that by gravity. The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water, therefore the weight of the water displaced will be greater in the case of the salt water, resulting in a greater buoyant force.The more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea. Most salt content in any lake or sea. The density of the salt water is greater than the density of the egg. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the egg doesn't float in freshwater.Did you know?A fresh egg will sink in fresh water but it will float in salty water. A rotten egg will float in fresh water.

Why does a rock sink when dropped in a lake?
Answer 1Because the density of the rock is greater than the density of the water, and the shape of the rock allows it to submerge before it has a chance to displace its weight in water. A sphere of steel will obviously sink in liquid water, but the same amount of steel could be shaped into an object that will float.rttrcf qbuisgbxi75te65r4g hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
How do you make lake valor full of water in diamond?

Why can we float easier in the sea than in a freshwater lake?
The density of salt water is higher than fresh water.
What would happen to fish if they were put in the Great Salt Lake?
They can't swim underwater. As the density of the extremely salty water is so much greater, the fish would float on the surface of the water. As a result, the fish will die after some time. Hmmm.
