Yes, the overall density would be less than if the rod were pure metal.
how would density of a metal be affected if it were wet
It would lower it.
The density of the metal mercury (liquid) is 13,534 kg/m3 or 13.534 g/cm3. The correct SI measure of the density is kg/m3.
5g/cm3
Copper has a density of rho = 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3. Water has a density of rho = 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL Helium has a density of rho = 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 = 0.0001785 kg/L = 0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL. In this example: Metal has a density of 8950 kg/m3. Liquid has a density of 1000 kg/m3. Gas has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3. The metal copper is compact.
It will increase the total volume, but it will hardly affect total mass. Remember the definition of density as mass / volume.
Air bubbles would make the volume you read in the measuring cylinder increase from the actual volume of theliquid. so when you add in the metal, there would be an increase in the volume of the metal than it really is. the mass of the metal cannot be affected by air bubble because this is the amount of matter in the metal. This increase in volume causes the density of the metal to reduce from its original value. since mass is constant, density is inversely proportional to volume. As volume increases, density decreases.hope that was helpful.
It depends on what you're measuring: the density of the aluminum or the aluminum and the space inside the can. If it's the density of the aluminum only, it doesn't change much. If it's the density of the aluminum and the space inside the can, the density greatly decreases as you are getting rid of the air, and therefore the volume, inside. This also depends on if you are using your foot or a garbage compacter.
Every metal has a density.
Low Density a Metal?NO!!!!
Low Density a Metal?NO!!!!
The density of the metal doesn't change when you crush a can.
An object will sink in water if it has a greater density than the water. This refers to the object's TOTAL or AVERAGE density, not necessarily the density of individual parts. Specifically, in the case of a ship, it includes the air that is trapped inside.
what metal has a density of 5 g/mL
The density of the metal will remain the same. However because the volume of the object has been reduced the overall density will increase
The density is the ratio of mass to volume. It doesn't matter what size the piece of metal, if it is the same metal it has the same density, 8.4.
Indeed yes. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. If all the mass were concentrated in one lump, your boat would no longer float. If the metal walls of the boat were a little thinner, you'd have more boat volume, and lower density.
