Why might an object float in water?

Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.


Does freezing affect the weight of an object?

No it does not, but it might affect the volume of the object (it might shrink or expand).


Can space shuttles have gravity in them when in space?

Everything has a little of its own gravity, but you would have to be very massive to make just a little. Space shuttles have gravity, but it is almost too small to measure or have any effect on anything large. Some large asteroids have enough mass to make a small orbit. If you through a tennis ball on one of them, it might loop back and hit you on your head.


How the density of a regular and irregular objects determined?

Weigh the object. Determine the volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density. To get the volume of an irregular shaped object can be challenging especially if there are cavities (holes) in it. submersion in a liquid or powder of known volume might be possible. Measure the difference in the volume of the liquid and the liquid + the object (making sure the object is entirely below the surface of the liquid and that any cavities are filled).


When you turn down the volume what will happen to the sound waves' amplitude?

Intensity of sound is dealt as volume in case of radio sets. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of amplitude. So as volume is turned down, intensity is reduced and so the amplitude is decreased.

Why might a small increase in the demensions of an object cause a large change in its volume?

A small increase in the dimension increases the volume dramatically because the increases are all multiplied by each other. A balloon is a great example of volume increasing rapidly.


How do you estimate the weight of a tree?

You might calculate the volume of the main trunk, approximating it by the formula of a cylinder. You might add some of the bigger branches, by the same method, if you want more accuracy. Then you multiply the volume you obtain, by an assumed density - use the value of water or a little less.


How do you calculate density generally?

To generally calculate density when given the mass and volume, you will take your mass and divide it by your volume. In some cases, it might be a little different depending what you're trying to do. This is the general method of how to find density of something when given the mass and volume.


Does suadi Arabia trade weapons?

They purchase them, and might sell of materiel which they decommission. Saudi Arabia doesn't have any significant arms industry to manufacture them, though.

What do you discover when determining mass and volume?

You might discover that solids have mass and they have volume.


How do you use volume?

Volume is normally used as a measurement in relation to other volumes, or as a sum or total amount. As relational measurements, volume might be in a form similar to a recipe, or it might be given as percentages.


When is cm3 the perferred unit to use for volume?

When you are using the "cgs" system (centimeters gram seconds). But you might prefer cubic miles or cubic metres etc if you were dealing with large things.
