How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

Why do lighter objects float higher in water?
It's because of the density of the object; for example wood floats in water because its density is less then the density of water, and metal sinks because its density is more then the density of the water.
What is an example of a density?
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.
Why is gold an example of density?
Because gold can sink in water
What are 2 real life examples of density?
One real-life example of density is the layering of liquids in a salad dressing; oil, which has a lower density than vinegar, floats on top. Another example is the sinking of a wooden log in water; while the wood has a lower density than the water, if it is saturated with water, it can sink, demonstrating how changes in density affect buoyancy.
An example of a density higher than 1?
An example of a density higher than 1 is gold, which has a density of approximately 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. This means that a given volume of gold is much heavier than the same volume of water or most other substances.
What describes a property of all elements?
For example the density.
What liquid has more density than water?
Maple Syrup is an example.
What is an example of density dependent?
Food, water, and natural resources are the most common examples of density-dependent factors.
Why is the most dense liquid water?
It isn't. For example, mercury has about 13 times the density of water.
Can you explain Density with some example?
Density is the mass per unit volume. For example, 1 cubic meter of water has a mass of 1000 kg, so its density is 1000 kg m-3.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
