Whether an object will sink or float?
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
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.
Why is important to know the density of an object?
so you know how much an object is denser compared to another object.
When would you need to find the volume of an object?
To work out its density. or to know if you could fit it into a container of a specific volume.
To find the mass of a rectangular object you multiply the object's length width and height?
If you know the density of the rectangular body you can find the volume and the plug it into this equation mass= (density)*(volume) If you have the means you can just submerge the body completely in water and find the volume of the water displaced that will be the mass as waters density is 1 g/cm^3
What information do you have to have before you can find the Density of an object?
You have to know the object's mass and its volume. Then its density is [ (mass) divided by (volume) ].

How do you find the density of an object if you know its mass and volume?
Mass divided by volume.
What do you know about the density of water?
I do know about the density of water. The density of water is 1.0 grams/ millimeter. To find the density of an object, divide its mass by volume. If you have any further questions, ask me.
How can you find the mass of an object if you already know the density and the volume?
Just product of these two namely density and volume would give the mass
If you know the density of an object how can you use that information to determine the idenity of that object?
from my understanding, I don't see how that would be possible, if I understand correctly. If you know the density, it would be difficult to know much. The density is only how much of that substance exists in a unit of volume. I guess if you knew how the density changed with temperature, then you might be able to recognise the behaviour of the substance and relate that to what it is?
Does mass and weight tell how much matter is in an object?
Mass and weight are both capable of telling you how much matter is in an object, it just depends on what other information you have. For instance if you have weight then you will also need to know the gravity and the density of atoms per gram of this object. If you know mass which is different from weight then you will only need to know the density of the object.
What would be the density of an object that has a mass of 17 g?
You don't know the density if you only know the mass. You can figure it out if you also know the object's volume.
What is the volume of a 10 gram object if it weighs 8 grams under water?
Not enough information. You would also have to know either the volume, or the density, of the object.
Why is important to know the density of an object?
so you know how much an object is denser compared to another object.
How do you find the density of something?
you have to know the mass and volume of the object. density equals the mass divided by the volume. if the mass of something was 5 and the volume 1 the density would be 5
