If you had an object with a density of 1.12gcm cubed would it sink or float in a container of salt water that has a density of 1.35gcm cubed?

Sinking or floating also depends on the density of the object

The concentration of matter in an object?
The concentration of matter in an object is called the density.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
If the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed?
If the density of an object which is equal to one(Which is also the density of the water), the object will neither sink nor float but it will be unstable, sometimes you will see the object sink then float. In other words the object is unstable in water....XD
What is the formula for find the volume of an object?
You can measure the volume by filling a container (the best option would be an accurate measuring cilinder) with water. Note how much water is in the container, now immerse the object you want to measure in the water and once more note how much water is in the container. The difference between your second measurement and the first is the total volume of the object. Another way would be to weigh the object and then calculate its volume via its density Density=mass/volume so volume=mass/density. This method only works if your know the density of the object. A third way would be to simply measure the dimensions of the object and mathematically calculate the volume (e.g. a cube would be length*width*height).
How can you change the overall density of an object?
In a simple way, since density = mass /volume, the density of an object can be changed by changing either mass or volume of an object .
A small object is able to remain suspended when dropped into a container of water. What does this tell you about the object's density in relation to the density of water?
It means that the object has an equal density to the water.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
What shape of an object will sink more easily in the water?
It depends on the density of the container whatever shape it is.
What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
How would you calculate the density of an irregular shaped object such as a cylinder or screw?
First you get the object mass by weighing it.Then you get its volume by immersing it in a scaled water container and see the increase in water volume which gives the object volume.Then you divide the mass by the volume to get the object density.
When would you need to find the volume of an object?
To work out its density. or to know if you could fit it into a container of a specific volume.
Light object that sinks?
Some of light objects will float and some of light object will sink . For An Example : A coin - it is light , isn't it ? But , it will sink in the water . Because , the density of coin is denser than water . water will be under the oil when they are mixed together in a container . It is because of the density too . How do you know the density of an object or liquids ? First , you should know the mass and volume of the object . After that , MASS DIVIDE VOLUME . You 'll get the density of the object or liquids . The bigger density will be under the smaller density object / liquids when they were mixed together . Of course the air , they are also have their own density .
How can you find the density of an object if the only equipment you have is water and a container?
You cannot unless the object is insoluble in water and it floats in water, and that the container is graduated so that you can read off the volume of water in it.If so,partially fill the container and record the level of water,gently lower the object and measure the new level of water,still gently push the object into the water until it is wholly submerged and record the water level again.Mass of object = measure 2 - measure 1Volume of object = measure 3 - measure 1and then, density = mass/volume.
Why did the Archimedes need to know to work out the density of a substance?
Weight vs volume. PLace object in container already full of water. Measure volume of liquid displaced. weight object. weight divided by volume equals density
What is used to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
A beaker, flask, or graduated cylinder. You have to put water in the container, record the volume, then place the object in the container and calculate how much the volume of the water raised.
How can a object can stay in the air?
An object stays in the air when the density of the object is at equilibrium with that of the air. A good example of this would be a light-weight, hollow container filled with 50% helium, and 50% oxygen. This would stay perfectly stationary, so long as there was enough helium to counteract the container's weight, in mid-air. However, if the helium level is greater than the air within the object, it will continue to float upward until the density of the object is equal to that of the atmosphere around it.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
