What else can I help you with?
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
How does the density of iol to the density of water?
You need to specify the oil, since there are many oils having different densities. Some oils are less dense than water, while some oils are more dense than water. Motor oil has a density of about 0.876 g/mL ; while water has a density of about 1.000 g/mL.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
When do you say that a substances has lower density than water?
A substance has lower density than water when it floats on water. This indicates that the substance is less dense than water.
If you are submerged in a liquid denser than water what will happen to the pressure?
The pressure will get higher quicker than in water because there is a different density between the liquids, and because there is a higher density, the liquid will be heavier and would push on you more than the smaller density of water. if you would submerge deep in that liquid, you will explode at a lower distance from the surface than in water.
The density of oil?
Different oils have different densities; usually a bit less than the density of water.
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.
Why oil not mixed with water?
Because of different densities; being density of oil lower than water density, this makes oil float on water
Why does a penny sink but logs and wood don't?
Because of the different densities. The density of wood is less than water while the density of a penny is greater than water.
What is the comparison of density to density of an equal volume of water?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
Why does ice have a different density than?
Because ice is a frozen solid and water is not.
What density must an item have to sink in water?
Anything greater than the density of the water ... nominally 1.000, but often slightly different, depending on the temperature of the water and what's dissolved in it.
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.

How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
What can you say about the density of a paper clip versus the density water?
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
Does location matter for the density of water?
Yes. Density is affected by pressure and temperature. So of course, water from a hot spring would have different density than water in colder regions of the world. Also, water from different depths would have different densities.
