Whether an object will sink or float?
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
What influence will the size of the surface and the mass of a floating object have on the floating ability of the object?
The density is important; for floating an object must have a density under the water density (1 g/cm3).
Light object that sinks?
Some of light objects will float and some of light object will sink . For An Example : A coin - it is light , isn't it ? But , it will sink in the water . Because , the density of coin is denser than water . water will be under the oil when they are mixed together in a container . It is because of the density too . How do you know the density of an object or liquids ? First , you should know the mass and volume of the object . After that , MASS DIVIDE VOLUME . You 'll get the density of the object or liquids . The bigger density will be under the smaller density object / liquids when they were mixed together . Of course the air , they are also have their own density .
How do you work out the mass of an object with the density and the volume?
Density = (Mass) divided by (Volume) If you know the density and volume, then Mass = (Density) times (Volume)
How is density used?
To tell whether a golden object is real gold, to know if an object will float or sink on a certain water source.

To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
What would be the density of an object that has a mass of 17 g?
You don't know the density if you only know the mass. You can figure it out if you also know the object's volume.
Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
Why is density important when determining what the object is made from?
Because if u know the denstiy you know what the components of the material is. By knowing that you would know the mass and volume.
Why is understanding density important to a chemist?
It is important because when you go to find the mass or volume you need to find the density. Also the way you can find the density of an object is by getting a container of water. you take your object and stick it in. if it sinks that means that the object is more dense then the water. If it floats then the water is more dense then the object. Density of a substance is important because it helps you determine how dense and object is
What influence will the size of the surface and the mass of a floating object have on the floating ability of the object?
The density is important; for floating an object must have a density under the water density (1 g/cm3).
What information do you have to have before you can find the Density of an object?
You have to know the object's mass and its volume. Then its density is [ (mass) divided by (volume) ].
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
If an something was 2000000 kilograms what would be its density?
To know the density you need to know the volume of that object. density = mass divided by volume.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
How do you calculate the mass of an object if you know the volume and density?
density = mass/volume mass = density x volume
