What else can I help you with?
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
What scientific concept explains why oil floats on water?
Oil floats on water due to differences in their densities. Oil has a lower density than water, so it floats on the surface. This is because molecules in oil are less tightly packed compared to water, allowing them to remain on top.
Ice float on water because?
Ice floats because it is less dense than water. The lower density is because in ice the molecules are arranged into a hexagonal crystal structure that leaves extra space in between.
Notes on the density of ice compared to water?
Ice floats -its less dense than water by about 10%.
What ojects float in water?
Every object that as a density of less then 1 kg/l floats on water.
What does density have to do with whether or not something can float?
eg. air has less density than water so it floats lead has more density so it sinks
What floats and what doesn't floats?
everything which has less density than water will float.....
What can you infer about the density if a block of the substance floats in water?
If a block of the substance floats in water, it means that the density of the substance is less than the density of water. Since objects with lower density than water float in water, we can infer that the substance is less dense than water.
Why does water floats on water?
Because the density of the cotton is less than that of the water. It weighs less.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Why dry ice CO2 floats?
CO2 floats because its density is less then water. Anything will float if its density is less then water. That is; when a certain volume of CO2 (or anything else) weighs less then the same volume of water.
How do you know if a compound has a density less than 1 gmL?
If it floats in water, it has a density less than water. Density of water is 1.0 g/mL
What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
What can you infer about the density of substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
If a block of a substance floats in water, it indicates that the density of the substance is less than the density of water. The substance is less dense than water, which allows it to float instead of sinking.
