If ice were not less dense than water, ice would form from the bottom up in bodies of water, freezing the aquatic life, and possibly killing off most of the aquatic life every winter.
If an object is less dense than water, it would float on the surface of the water. This is because objects less dense than water displace an amount of water equal to their weight when they are immersed, resulting in buoyancy force that keeps them afloat.
-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
Freshwater is less dense than saltwater so the fish so it would internally rupture.
If water is at a liquid state, its molecules are able to roll;therefore, water's composition would deem water less dense than wood.
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
Ice is less dense than water
no
If you try to find the density of an object with a density less than water, the object will float in water. This indicates that the object is less dense than water. To find the density of such an object, you would divide the mass of the object by its volume.
Water, oil, and mercury are arranged in increasing order of density. Water is less dense than oil, which is less dense than mercury. So the order would be water (less dense), oil, and then mercury (most dense).
one liquid would be more dense (bottom liquid) and one would be less dense (top liquid) as oil would go on top of water no matter what unless shaken because oil is less dense than water as water has a density of 1
Because cork is less dense than water.
