What else can I help you with?
Is the same amount of sand and water the same weight?
No, sand and water do not weigh the same for the same volume. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while the density of sand varies but is generally higher, so the weight of the same volume of sand will be greater than that of water.
Does every liquid weights the same?
The vast majority of liquids have different densities. The weight of a liquid depends on the force of gravity and the mass of the liquid. The mass of a liquid depends on the volume of liquid and the density of liquid. Therefore, the vast majority of liquids have different masses, densities and corresponding weights.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
Why does that a small pin sinks in water?
Because the pin is more dense than the water. Density and weight aren't the same thing. A feather, for example, has less density than the water so it would float.
Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?
No, the amount of water displaced by an object is determined by its volume, not its density. Objects with different densities but the same volume will displace the same amount of water.
Is the same amount of sand and water the same weight?
No, sand and water do not weigh the same for the same volume. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while the density of sand varies but is generally higher, so the weight of the same volume of sand will be greater than that of water.
Do feathers weigh more than bricks or cheese?
They all "weigh" the same: one pound. They're equal in weight which is different from density. :-)
Does density equate to weight?
Yes, it does. Higher density means being more dense than something else. In that light, that makes it a relative or comparitive term. But you are correct. Higher density means something is more dense than something else.
Does every liquid weights the same?
The vast majority of liquids have different densities. The weight of a liquid depends on the force of gravity and the mass of the liquid. The mass of a liquid depends on the volume of liquid and the density of liquid. Therefore, the vast majority of liquids have different masses, densities and corresponding weights.
Is shampoo heavier than water?
No, shampoo is not heavier than water. Both shampoo and water have the same density, so they would have the same weight for the same volume.
How can a gallon of milk can have different density than a gallon of water even though it has the same volume?
Though they have same volume,they have different masses.
Is the density of 8 mL of water greater than equal to or smaller than the density of 4 mL of water?
It depends upon the temperatures and purity of the two quantities of water. If they are both at the same temperature and both have the same purity, they will both have the same density as density does not depend upon the volume, but the substance itself. If they are at different temperatures, or have different purities, then they will have different densities, but which would be greater would depends upon which has which temperature and which purity.
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
Water weight ice weight?
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
What does the weight of an object that floats have the same value as?
The weight of the substances are largely immaterial. What matters is the density. Assuming fresh water to have a density of 1.0 anything with a lighter density will float in it. For example, oil generally has a density of about 0.8, so it floats in water. Concrete has a density of about 2.4, so it sinks. http://physics.about.com/od/fluidmechanics/a/commondens.htm

When will something float?
An object will float in a fluid when the density of the object is less than the density of the fluid. This difference in density creates an upward buoyant force that counteracts the object's weight, allowing it to float.
