Is density a property of an object or a property of the substance the object or a property of the substance the object is made of?
Density (or more properly Relative Density) is an elemental property. An object made from one or more elements will have a density related to the density of the elements.
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
If you have two objects that are the same size and one of them has a mass of 50 g and the other object has a mass of 10 g which object has the greatest density?
The 50g one does have the greater density. This is because density is defined as mass divided by volume.
How man applies the concept of density?
Man applies the concept of density in many ways. One way is by designing ships and submarines that will float on water. If the density of the object is less than the water's density, the object will float, but if its density is less than the density of water, it will sink.
One object has a greater density than another when it has?
one object has greater density than another when it has
What will an object due if its density is less than one?
Any OBJECT with a DENSITY of LESS THAN ONE (1), will SINK in WATER.

If the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed?
If the density of an object which is equal to one(Which is also the density of the water), the object will neither sink nor float but it will be unstable, sometimes you will see the object sink then float. In other words the object is unstable in water....XD
How does the density of one object compare to half of the same object?
It's identical. (assuming that the object is homogeneous)
How can one easily determine density of an object floating in water without mass determination?
Without knowing its mass, you can't determine its density. But if it's in water, you can make one broad distinction regarding its density: If the object is floating, then its density is less than ' 1 '. If the object sank, has sunk, or is sinking, then its density is more than ' 1 '.
How can you use the destiny of an object to predict wheather it will float or sink in water?
The density of water is 1.00, so if the density of the object is greater than one, it will sink. If the density of the object is less than 1.00, then it will float. If the density of the object equals or is like 1.01, 1.02, 0.99, or 0.98, then it will be suspended.
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
If you have two objects that are the same size and one of them has a mass of 50 g and the other object has a mass of 10 g which object has the greatest density?
The 50g one does have the greater density. This is because density is defined as mass divided by volume.
Does everything that is density sink?
No because it depends on the density... over 1 (Density of water is one) your object will sink, under 1 object will float if it is 1 it will be suspended in water (A.k.a flink)
How man applies the concept of density?
Man applies the concept of density in many ways. One way is by designing ships and submarines that will float on water. If the density of the object is less than the water's density, the object will float, but if its density is less than the density of water, it will sink.
