-- 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 does it mean to compare the density of an object to that of it in pieces?

It means: * Calculate the density of an object * Calculate the density of its pieces * Compare


What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?

Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.


Density depends on mass?

Density depends on mass and volume of an object.


How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?

When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.


Denser is another form of the word density how does it relate?

It describes things that have a higher density than another object. For example, "The metal ball is denser than the baloon."


Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?

How does the density of one object compare to half of the same object?

It's identical. (assuming that the object is homogeneous)


How does density affect the transmission of sound?

The higher the density of an object, the harder it will be for the sound to be transmitted through the object.


When the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the object how do the densities of the object and water compare?

Is is related through Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the submerged object. The weight of a volume of water is equal to the volume x density of water x the gravitational constant.FB = V ρ g


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
