Water has a greater density than aluminum. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while the density of aluminum is about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter.
No, since it's denser than water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, in this case, 13.5 dividied by 5 .. which is greater than 1, the density of water. If the quotient was less than 1 (or density less than one gram per cubic centimeter), it would float in water.
Not if the pellets are solid. Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc).
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
Metals that have a density greater than the density of water will sink in water, while metals that have a density less than water will float. For example, metals like lead, gold, and silver will sink in water, while metals like aluminum and lithium will float.
A thin aluminum foil can float on water if placed carefully flat on the surface because of the surface tension of water. If you were to submerge it, the foil will sink.
Because the overall density of a can is less than the density of water, a solid aluminium pole has a density greater than water
No, since it's denser than water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, in this case, 13.5 dividied by 5 .. which is greater than 1, the density of water. If the quotient was less than 1 (or density less than one gram per cubic centimeter), it would float in water.

If you calculate the density, you'll find that it's greater than 1, therefore it will not float on water. Or you could save yourself some time and ask when the last time you saw metal float was.
A block of aluminum will sink in water due to its density being greater than that of water.
Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc). A solid object would only float if it displaces more mass than it weighs (i.e., its density is less than water).
A solid bar of aluminum would not float, since its density (almost 3 grams per cc) is greater than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). For an object to float in water, its density would have to be less than 1.0.
Water has a greater density than ice.
The density of steel is greater than that of aluminium, A centimetre cube of each, if placed on a weighing balance would show that the steel has greater density because its side of the balance arm would sink.
Salt water has a greater density.
If it was solid, no it would not float in water since it would displace less water than its weight. In other words, the density of aluminium is higher than the density of water, and denser objects will sink. If it were a hollow sphere and displaced more weight in water than its own weight, it could float - but that would not be by virtue of the density of aluminum, it would be because it was hollow.
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
