What is the result if an object or substance less dense than another?

then the item that is less than the other, would be lighter and both the items wouldnt have the exact same density/amount of weight.

Why is knowing the density of a substance is important for daily life?
to see how dense an object is
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
What does it mean when one object is more dense than another?
If one substance is denser than another, it means that a certain volume of the first substance weight more (or more precisely, has more mass) than the same volume of the second substance. Density is typicall measured in grams / cubic cm, or kilograms per cubic meter.
What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?
A cold object is more dense.
How can you predict if something will sink or float?
An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
If an object floats does that mean it is dence?
If an object floats it is less dense than the substance it's floating in.

What is the relationship between an objects density and the liquid density and the tendency of an object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
If you place a less dense substance into another substance with a greater density what happens?
It floats.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
How does an object's density determine whether the object will sink or float in water?
the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object
What three things determine how much light is refracted as it passes through a substance?
medium, reflection, and how dense the object is
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.

If one substance is denser than another, it means that a certain volume of the first substance weight more (or more precisely, has more mass) than the same volume of the second substance. Density is typicall measured in grams / cubic cm, or kilograms per cubic meter.
What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?
A cold object is more dense.
When should an object float into a liqud?
An object will float when it has less density than the fluid or substance that it is placed in. The object floats upward due to buoyant forces. Similarly, objects will sink if they are dense than the fluid.
