If a block of wood floats in water, it means that the density of the wood is less than the density of water. This is because objects with a lower density than water will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.

What happens if something floats an salt is added?

If you add the salt to the water, the density of the water increases. so the what ever floats on the water will come up. That mean it will get immersed in the water to less extent. If the salt does not dissolve in the liquid, like rock oil, there will be no difference.

What planet has a density of less than 1?

You mean density less than 1 gram per cubic centimeter. The definition of the SI unit: Density of water is 1000kilograms per cubic, that is 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So, a material with a density less than water means that it swims in water and does not sink.


What do you mean relative density?

Relative density is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of another substance, usually water. It is calculated by dividing the density of the substance by the density of water. Relative density can help determine if a substance will sink or float in water based on its comparison to water's density.


Which has greater density water or cooking?

I can only assume that you mean which has the grater desity water or boiling water. The colder the water the more density it will have.


What does mean that plasticine has higher density value that water?

means that plasticine has higher density.


What does it mean when an egg floats in water?

When an egg floats in water, it means that the egg is no longer fresh. This is because as eggs age, air enters the egg through the porous shell, causing it to become less dense and float.


What is mean density on Saturn?

The mean density of Saturn is about 0.687 grams per cubic centimeter. This low density is due to the planet's composition primarily of hydrogen and helium gases, with a small rocky core at its center.
