Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?
Yes, because density is measuring the volume of the object. So it shows how much percent of the object is submerged.
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
You do not. A metal ship, with density well above that of water, will float.
Does styrofoam sink or float?
it would sink(DrStrong) The answer above may be correct, or the object might float. It depends on the density of the container. If the container is a foam cooler filled with water, it's going to be floating. That's because the weight of matter contained within the outer surface of the foam cooler will be slightly less than the weight of water of the same volume. You can call that a gross density if you wish. However, if the container was made of iron, then there is no way it will float if it is completely filled with water, since the gross density will be greater than that of water.See Archimedes Principle.
What is the density of an object mass that is 60 and volume of 30?
In pure water the object would not sink. Density is given by mass/volume, and this object would have a density of less than one, which is less than the density of water. Therefore, the object would float.
How does the temperature of water affect the speed at which an object sinks?
Yes. As water is heated above 4oC it expands. With this change in volume comes a change in density. Less density means less bouyant force on the object in the water.
What determines an object will sink or float?
The Density of the object as long as its .99 grams then it will float because the object has to have less density than water in order to rise above the water.

Which will float on a fluid that has a density of 2 grams cm and Acirc and sup3?
Any object which, if submerged, would displace 2 times its own volume. The density of the object could be well above 2 gms/cm^3. If that were not the case, then ships made of metal would never float in water. which has a much lower density.

Classify an object based on its density relative to that of water?
If an object has a greater mass density than water, it will sink. If an object has a smaller mass density than water, it will float. Let me explain. The density of water is zero. That never changes. Everything else is either above or below that. So, everything would be relative to water because it sets the mark that everything else abides by. It's the center of the table.

What is the procedure for finding the volume of a regular object?
If the object shape can be approximated as being comprised of several simple geometric shapes one can just calculate the volume of each of these shapes based on their individual geometries. If the object is highly asymmetrical and it is not comprised of a series of geometrically simple shapes then you can do the following: 1) calibrate a large vat or container by marking the volume at various levels. 2) fill the container (not to the top) with water. 3) submerge the object in the container 4) calculate the change in volume. 5) the volume of the object is equal to the change in volume in the container If the object is too big to be placed in a vat but the object has a homogeneous density then one can do the following: 1) break off a small piece of the object 2) measure the mass of this small sample piece 3) measure the volume of the small object sample using steps 1-5 above 3) calculate the density of the homogenous material that comprises the sample density=mass/volume 4) measure the mass of the entire object 5) calculate the total volume: volume=mass/density 6) if you want to be precise you can add to this the sample volume that you cut away in step 1 If the object can't be submerged and is made up of several parts with different homogeneous densities then repeat steps 1-6 for each part of the object and sum the values of the volume for each part of the object. (Note: do not use this method if you value keeping the object in one piece.) If the object can't be submerged and has a variable density throughout its volume then do the following: 1) create a mold of the object 2) fill the mold with water 3) calculate the volume of water required to fill the mold
If an object has a volume of 50 Cm3 and a mass of 956G what is the density of the object?
It is 100 g/cm3 which is way above the most dense element!
How does the temperature of water affect the speed at which an object sinks?
Yes. As water is heated above 4oC it expands. With this change in volume comes a change in density. Less density means less bouyant force on the object in the water.
Does the object float or sink the higher the density?
The the object you speak of is in water at approximately room temperature, then anything with a density above about 1 will sink; anything below 1 will float and anything at very close will be suspended in the water. So, to answer your question, high density equals sinking.
How would you find the density of a can of soda pop?
To find the average density of the can and its contentsWeigh the can of soda pop (mass) and then divide by the number of cubic centimeters in the can (volume). Density = mass/volume.To find the density of the aluminum canEmpty the can completely, weigh it, then place it in a filled liquid container to determine the volume of the aluminum. Divide as above to find the density of the aluminum (should be approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter).
