Is liquid wax or solid wax more dense?

As in most substances, solid wax is more dense than liquid wax. Density, by definition, is mass divided by volume. If the volume is smaller, meaning less space occupied, than the density increases. In a solid, the temperature lowers, the molecules have less energy and are less active. Therefore, they take up less space, equalling a smaller volume. Small volume, more density.


What takes up more space-a kilogram of sawdust or a kilogram of iron?

The sawdust. Density is the property that relates mass and volume (density = mass/volume). So the more dense something is, the less space a fixed mass of that material will take up. As iron is considerably more dense than sawdust (or any solid wood for that matter) it will take up much less space.


Why do objects that float take out more water than objects that sink?

Because objects that sink have greater density, which takes up less space, which, assuming you are using the water displacement method, would take out less water.

What is heat energey?

The heat energy of a substance is determined by how active its atoms and molecules are. A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler object's molecules and atoms will be less excited and show less movement. When these guys are in the excited state, they take up a lot of space because they're moving around so fast. When the atoms and molecules settle down, or cool down, they take up less space...

Are compact tractors more dangerous?

Compact tractors are smaller, they take up less space, they use less gas, have smaller tires, but they also cut less grass at once, and are easier to flip on hills. They are also more expensive, but I hear they are better for the enviroment as well.


Why does it take less fuel to launch a space shuttle from moon than from earth?

To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
