The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
its density is greater than water, so it sinks.
Typically mild steel can withstand vibration better because it has a higher density than the more brittle cast iron but cast iron may be better at absorbing vibrations than mild steel, due to its lower density.
Density is mass divided by volume. If we assume the mass of the iron and the cotton is the same, you will find that the iron will occupy less space (less volume) than that of the cotton. The value of a mass divided by a small volume is higher than the value of the same mass divided by a larger volume. If we assume the volume of both the iron and the cotton is the same, you will also find that the mass of the iron will be higher than the mass of the cotton. The value of a large mass divided by a volume is larger than the value of a small mass divided by the same volume. In both assumptions, the value of mass divided by volume for the iron is higher than the value of mass divided by volume for the cotton. Since density is mass divided by volume, the density of iron is therefore higher than the density of cotton.
No. That's the beauty of "density". It's a characteristic of the substance, and the size of the sample has no effect on it. As long as the sample is pure, a pinhead of it has the same density as a truckload of it.
Iron is more dense than silicon.
Copper has a density of 8.9 g/cm3 while iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm3. Therefore copper is denser than iron.
No, cotton has a density of 1.54-1.56 g/cm³ while iron has a density of 7.874 g/cm³
Steel is more dense than water because it is made mostly of iron, and iron is much denser than water. The density of iron is 7.874g/cm3, while water's density is 1g/cm3.
the density of gold is approx 2 and 1/2 times more than iron
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
its density is greater than water, so it sinks.
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
Silver is more dense because silver is around 10.5g/cc, an iron around 7g/cc. silver atomic number 47, where as iron is 26. This means the nucleus will be much heavier, but also take up more space.
iron is more dense then water and wood is less dense then water. iron sinks because it is heavier then the density of water. wood sinks because woods density is lighter then the density of water.
Copper is more dense than iron, if that is what is being asked. The density of copper is about 8.94 grams per cubic centimeter. Iron had a density of about 7.874 grams per cubic centimeter.
This is incorrect. A bar of lead is denser than a bar of iron. Iron bars have a density of 7.87 g/cm3, whereas lead bars have a density of 11.36 g/cm3.
