What else can I help you with?
If you have a half dollar and pencil and some water which of these have the greatest density?
The half dollar has the greatest density because it will sink, the water has more density than the pencil because the pencil will float.
Density of a pencil?
The density of a pencil can vary depending on the material it is made of. For example, a wooden pencil typically has a density of around 0.6 grams per cubic centimeter, while a mechanical pencil made of metal may have a higher density of around 7.8 grams per cubic centimeter.
Why does pencil float?
The main body of the pencil is made from soft wood which is naturally boyant, the pencil 'lead' is not lead at all but a much lighter substance called graphite. Your pencil is just not heavy enough to sink.
Would a pencil sink or float?
it will float so the answer is yes
Why does the pencil in a glass of water appear bent?
When light passes from one medium to another of different optical density, it changes speed, causing the light rays to bend. This bending is known as refraction. When you see the pencil in a glass of water, the light rays coming from the pencil bend as they move from the water into the air, creating the illusion that the pencil is bent at the water's surface.
If you have a half dollar and pencil and some water which of these have the greatest density?
The half dollar has the greatest density because it will sink, the water has more density than the pencil because the pencil will float.
What is density out of water carbon dioxide and steel which has greater density?
Steel has the greatest density of the three.

When is water's density at its greatest?
The maximum density of water occurs at a temperature of 4°C
Why does pencil float?
The main body of the pencil is made from soft wood which is naturally boyant, the pencil 'lead' is not lead at all but a much lighter substance called graphite. Your pencil is just not heavy enough to sink.
The density of water is the greastest at a temperature of?
At 4oC is the greatest density of water: 0.999 kg/L
What liquid has the greatest density?
Mercury has the greatest density as a liquid in room temperture.
Would a pencil sink or float?
it will float so the answer is yes
Water is most dense at what degree celsius?
Water has the greatest density at 4ºC or 39.2ºF

Is a pencil in water refraction?
Yes, when a pencil is placed in water, light rays traveling from the pencil to the observer are bent at the water-air interface, causing the pencil to appear broken or shifted. This phenomenon is due to refraction, where light bends as it travels from one medium to another of different optical density.
The density of water is greatest at?
Water is most dense at 4oC. At this temperature it has a density of 1000 kg/m3
