no; they have the same volume but their mass is quite different; density is mass/volume and the sponge has much lower density

Why is there an upward force on objects in a fluid?

Because an object has to displace an equivalent volume to be able to sink. Say you dropped a brick into a bucket of water, brick and water cannot occupy the same space at the same time so for the brick to sink it has to "displace" or move a volume of water equal to the size of the brick. That's why when you get in the bath the water level rises - you have displaced a volume of water equal to the size of your body.


A standard-size brick is 8 inches long and 2 14 inches high and has a depth of 3 34 inches What is the volume of a standard-size brick?

67.5 cubic inches!


Does sponge sink in water?

Objects float or sink because of their density. An example of an object with low density is a sponge, as it has loads of air bubbles in it, and will float. An example of an object with high density is a brick. This is because the brick doesn't have any air trapped in it, it is "packed in", and is more dense than water, therefore it will sink.


What does indepedent variable means in science?

The independent variable is the thing that changes with in the experiment to make it an experiment. For example, say I was doing an experiment on something such as "Which sponge brand can absorb the most water?" The independent variable would be the different sponge brands because it would be the thing that changes with in the experiment. Otherwise, if you didn't make an independent variable (the different sponge brands in this case) it wouldn't be an experiment because a sponge of the same brand should hold about the same amount of water as the others.

Why does a brick weigh more than a sponge when they have the same amount of volume?

A brick weighs more than a sponge because its material, such as clay or concrete, is denser and more compact than the material of a sponge, which is porous and lightweight. The density of the brick's material causes it to have more mass packed into the same volume compared to the sponge.


Why does a sponge have less mass than a book of the same size?

A sponge has less mass than a book of the same size because a sponge is less dense. The sponge is made up of more air pockets and less material compared to the dense paper and binding of a book, which results in the sponge weighing less for the same size.


How are a sponge and a brick that are the same size similar and different?

They are of the same shape and same dimensions. Other than that everything is different. They are made of different materials, have different mass, density, specific gravity, coefficient of friction, thermal conductivity, porosity, etc, etc. You name it and they are different.


Why does a sponge have less than a book of the same size?

the sponge has less molecules where as the book has more molecules in one place


Why does a sponge have less mass than a book of the same size-?

Even though a sponge may be the same size as a book, the sponge has hundreds of holes in it. The book has far more material in the same amount of space that the sponge takes up. In other words, the book is far more dense than the sponge.


What is the difference between a brick and a sponge?

A brick is a hard, solid building material made from clay or concrete, while a sponge is a soft, porous material used for cleaning or absorbing liquids. Bricks are typically heavy and durable, while sponges are lightweight and flexible.


1000 brick will cover how much floor area?

This depends on the size of the bricks. If the bricks are the same shape and size and a rectangle then they will cover their length*width*1000. If the bricks aren't the same size and shape then you would need to know the dimensions of each brick.


What was the first ever mobile phone?

it is called a brick, because it is the same shape, size and basically the same weight as a brick, can you believe that people actually walked round with those ! hope that helped! :)


Do object's that are the same size always have the same mass?

Maye they do, and maybe they don't. What would you think about a little cardboard box, about the size and shape of a brick, that's filled with corn flakes or feathers ? Do you think it has the same mass as a brick ? Now, how about a king-size pillow-top mattress and a 6-inch-thick concrete slab ? Would you expect them to have the same mass ? Finally, I'm thinking of a 2-pound brick of American cheese on the table right next to a gold bar. If they have the same mass, then they have the same weight. Think about it.


Does the size of the sponge affect the amount of water absorbed?

The size of a sponge does affect the amount of water absorbed. The bigger the sponge the more water absorbed.


Why does a sponge have less mass than s book of the same size?

A sponge is less dense than a book, meaning it has more empty space and less mass per unit volume. The sponge is made up of air pockets and a porous structure, whereas a book is made of compact paper or other dense materials. This difference in density leads to the sponge having less mass for the same size as a book.
