No, aluminum foil is denser and heavier than copier paper, so it has more mass for the same volume.

Does a crumpled piece of aluminum foil into a ball would the mass weight volume and density increase or decrease from what it was?

Crumpling aluminum foil into a ball would not change the mass of the foil, as the amount of material remains the same. However, the volume would decrease as the foil is compressed into a smaller shape, leading to a higher density due to the same mass being packed into a smaller space. The weight of the foil would remain the same regardless of its shape.


How does a tin foil raft float?

A tin foil raft, which is just a flat piece of tin foil (which we know is really aluminum foil), floats by means of the surface tension of the water that supports it. We all know that aluminum is more dense than water. A block or other chunk of aluminum would sink in water. But because the aluminum foil is thin, its mass is "spread out" over a wide area, and this causes a broad interaction with the surface tension characteristic of water.

What are the components of natural radiation in order from least to most penetrating?

Alpha particles, which consist of two protons and two neutrons; Beta particles, which consist of one electron; Gamma rays, which is the highest frequency of electromagnetic radiation, has no mass, and is not made up of any subatomic particles. Alpha particles con be stopped by a mere piece of paper; Beta particles can pass through paper but can be stopped by aluminum foil; Gamma rays can pass through paper and aluminum foil, and can only be stopped by lead or concrete.


Does aluminum sink or float in water and why?

Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density than the aluminum.


What is the density of 100cm3 of aluminum if it has a mass of 250g?

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. To find the density of 100 cm3 of aluminum with a mass of 250g, divide the mass by the volume: 250g / 100 cm3 = 2.50 g/cm3. The density of the aluminum sample is 2.50 g/cm3.

How many grams of aluminum foil does it take to cover a sheet of aluminum foil that is 45cmx30cmx0.0010cm?

Formula: Mass= density.volumeAluminum:You need to look up density>> 2.70 g·cm−3You can calculate the volume of the foil: V = 45cm x 30cm x 0.0010cm = 1.35 cm3Mass (g) = Density (g·cm−3) x Volume (cm3) = 2.70 * 1.35 = 3.65 g aluminum

How do you build a aluminum foil boat that can carry 1000 grams?

Since an aluminum drink can is made from aluminum foil, and contains about 300ml, it follows that three or more of these empty cans could be used to support a mass of 1kg. Four or more to give some extra security. So you just have to arrange how your cans and the load platform are to be connected.

Is aluminum foil float on water?

A thin aluminum foil, (which is denser than water) could float on the surface if carefully placed, by virtue of the surface tension of water. But if submerged, the foil would sink due to its higher density. Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. (An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight.)
