What else can I help you with?
Is floats or sinks in water a physical property?
Yes it is because mass and density are physical properties and density is how you can tell if it is going to sink or float. to find out density, you divide the mass by the volume of an object.
How can you tell if an object will float in water from its gravity?
You can determine if an object will float in water by comparing its density to the density of water. If the object is less dense than water, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object is determined by the density of the object and the density of the fluid it is submerged in.
Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?
Yes, the density of an object can help determine how much of it will float above the water. An object with a density greater than water will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. The percentage of the object above water will depend on its density compared to the density of water.
How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an object has a lower density than water, it will float. If an object has a higher density than water, it will sink. This is because objects will displace an amount of water equal to their own weight, and if the weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float.
A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
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.
Is floats or sinks in water a physical property?
Yes it is because mass and density are physical properties and density is how you can tell if it is going to sink or float. to find out density, you divide the mass by the volume of an object.
Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
How does the density of an object tell you if it will sink or float?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the fluid you put it in, then it sinks. If less, then it floats in that fluid.
How can you tell if an object will float in water from its gravity?
You can determine if an object will float in water by comparing its density to the density of water. If the object is less dense than water, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.

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.
Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?
Yes, the density of an object can help determine how much of it will float above the water. An object with a density greater than water will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. The percentage of the object above water will depend on its density compared to the density of water.

A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
How do you use mass and volume to determine density and why is this an important property?
Density is mass divided by volume. It is important because it is a measure of how tightly packed the mass of an object is. For example, density will tell you whether something floats or sinks.
Do scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float?
yes. for example; Ice is just frozen water, right? So why does ice float in water? When we find the mass of an ice cube and divide that by its volume, we come up with about .92. Ninety-two hundredths is less than one, so the density of ice is less then that of water. Ice floats because the ratio of its mass to volume is less than one.
What does the density of an object tell us?
density tells us how packed the object is
