the density would be the SAME this is because density is actually how tightly the atoms are packed into a certain element/compound. density is taken as the formula : Density = Mass/Volume (in this case the air inside of the hollow object would not count) e.g. a 1000 bricks stacked up would be the same density as a room made out of 1000 bricks, do you understand? same with stack ems i think what you are referring to is buoyancy perhaps??

What is the density of perfume?

The fragrance is usually dissolved in alcohol, and this in turn is dissolved in water. Otherwise, it would probably evaporate too quickly.


What two properties must be measured in order to determined the density of an object?

the equation for density is; p = m/V so you would need to find the mass of a substance for a certain volume


How do you know if your silver ware is real silver?

you could do a density test. If you measure the mass of the object and divide it by the volume (displacement test would be easiest) then you have calculated the density. the density of silver is 10.49 so if you get something close to this then it is silver.


If two objects are made of the same material will they have the same density?

The density an object depends not only on the mass but also its volume i.e. D=M/V. Therefore, if two objects had the same mass and volume then they would have the same density. By contrast, if two objects had the same mass but different volumes then they would not have the same volume. In fact, the object with the least volume would be more dense or would have would have a greater density.


What formula do you use to caculate the density of an object?

Calculate the volume of the substance by measuring the length, width and height. The formula looks like this: Volume = L (length) x W (width) x H (height). Determine if the object or substance is irregularly shaped. If so, you can determine the volume by finding out how much water is displaced when the object is dropped into a beaker of water. Calculate the density once you know the volume and mass of the substance or object. Density is equal to the mass of the substance divided by its volume: D (density) = M (mass) / V (volume).

Is the density in a solid object high?

yes it does because the higher the mass and volume are, the higher the density would be


An object that sinks into a fluid is?

As an object sinks in a fluid the buoyant force on it would remain the same.


Why would egg float in saltwater and and not freshwater?

Salt water has a higher density. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.


What would cause and object to float on fluid?

An object would float on a fluid if the density of the object was less than the density of the fluid.


Would it hurt worse being hit by a high density object or a low density object?

It depends on the speed and the mass but in general a higher density object would be worse. Everything else being equal, it makes sesnes that being hit by an iron cannonball is more serious than being hit by a tennis ball of the same size. The cannon ball is highhigh density and the tennis ball is low density.


How does air resistance affect a falling helicopter?

the same that it would affect any falling object. The higher the air resistance the thicker the air density. This will result in a higher drag coefficient and will slow the fall of the object.


Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?

Less than that of the substance it is floating on.


How would you calculate the density of an object?

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Thus, the density of an object is the mass of the object divided by its volume.


What is volume weight and density?

volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)


What would be the density of object that has a volume of 25 and of 5 grams?

What would be the density of an object that has a volume of 25 cm3 and 5 grams?


In order for an object to have neutral buoyancy what would the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid have to be?

They have to be the same.


What happens to a object when placed in water if the density is greater than 1?

If the density of an object is less than that of water it will float. If it had a higher density it would sink. Since water has a specific gravity very close to 1 (it is exactly 1.000 at 4 °C but slightly less at other temperatures) an object with a specific gravity of 1 would sink. The mass of the water it would displace would be less than the mass of the object so the buoyancy forces would not be sufficient to let it float.
