What is the difference in the density of a human skull bone compared with wood If they are both impacted with the same force which would be more resistant?
Mutantroach
Too many variances to give a concise answer. There are hundreds of types of wood, each with its own density and strength variables. The object that hits them is also going to be a factor, as an ax is going to be very different then a Baseball bat, which is different then a fireplace Poker. It takes some 250 pounds of force to crush the average human skull, but that depends also on where you are squeezing it.

What does gravity spicific mean?
Perhaps you mean "specific gravity". That refers to an object's density, compared to the density of a reference subtance (usually water). For example, if iron has 8 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is said to be 8.
What is the density of water vapor in relation to the air's density?
I sugest you look up "steam tables". Since convection currents are caused solely by diferences in density ... yes, it is assumed that tempreture diferences CAUSED the density gradiant - but that is not always true.
What would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model?
Density would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model.
What is difference between density of salty water and normal water?
Salt water is a lighter density than fresh. The difference depends on the salinity of the water. This differs all over the world in different parts of the oceans and in salt water lakes.
How does the calinity of water effect temperature and water currents?
Salinity, or saltiness, affects how readily the water changes temperatures as well as its density. Because of this, currents in the water can arise not only from the difference in temperature, but also from the density difference, which comes from the salinity itself.
What is the difference of density on earth compared to a spaceship?
mass dose not change on a spaceship
What is the difference between the density of a rock compared to the density of gases?
Rock is hundreds to thousands of times denser than any gas under normal conditions.
Why would one use plastic wood?
Its larger density, and weather and stain resistant structure prevents it from splintering, warping, rotting, or splitting. And compared to other woods, it is virtually maintenance free.
Describe the density of the vinegar compared to the density of the oil?
....
What is the density method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
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
If cold water is denser than hot water then how can you float in a warm water?
The difference in water density (hot-cold) is very small, compared to the difference in density between water of any temperature, and your body. That is, even hot water is more dense that we are, so we still float.
If aluminum bar is cut in half What is the density of each half compared to the original density of the bar?
It is going to need to be divide by the original density and then after you find that out you get your answer.
Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?
size does not relate to density
What is the method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
What is the density of gold in a ring and in a necklace compared?
If the gold is of the same purity the density will be the same.
