Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of styrofoam of a similar size and shape float?
The coin has a greater density than water. Styrofoam has less density than water. It's as simple as that.
What is the density of a styrofoam ball?
how much is styrofoam unit weight?
Does Alcohol have a high density?
Well that depends, do you think 0.79 grams is high? Compared to water, which has a density of 1.0 grams.. so does alcohol have a high density compared to water? No. :P
What is the density method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
Can the fomula to find density find the density of styrofoam?
Yes.
Is styrofoam low density?
Yes, it is.
Do the styrofoam blocks have the same density?
No, they do not.
What is the effect of sugar compared to water on density?
Sugar has a greater density than water. This is obvious from the fact that it sinks in water. If you add sugar to water, the water's density increases.
What is compared to water that allows ice to float?
Density.
What physical property is demonstrated by a piece of styrofoam floating on water?
There are several. They would include displacement, buoyancy, and density.
Examples of objects whose density is less than water's?
polystyrene / styrofoam plastic wood / cork / ice
What is the method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
