Does a solid block that sinks in a container of water has a lower density than water?

Yes, a solid block that sinks in water has a higher density than water. Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. If the density of an object is greater than the density of the fluid it is in, the object will sink.


What a solid block of material is cut in half its density is?

If a solid block of material is cut in half, its density remains the same. Density is a physical property of a substance and is independent of the shape or size of the object. Therefore, cutting the block in half would not change its density.


Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?

In general, liquids have lower densities than solids. This is because particles in a liquid are less compactly arranged compared to those in a solid, leading to a lower density. However, there are exceptions, such as ice having a lower density than liquid water.


How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?

That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.


What would happen to a liquid or solid that has a lower density than water is placed in container of water?

Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)


Why do non soluble solid float nor sink in water?

A solid float on water if the density is lower than the density of water.


What is the definition of lower density when solid?

A definition of lower density doesn't exist. Solids with densities under 1,00 g/cm3have a very low density.


Why is a block of wood heavier than the same volume of gas kept in a container?

A block of wood is heavier than gas because the wood has more mass and density compared to the gas molecules which are spread out in the container. The atoms and molecules in the gas have less mass and are flying around with more space between them, making the gas less dense and lighter than a solid block of wood.


Why is ice solid weird?

You think probable to the density, lower than the density of liquid water.


What is the shape and particle motion and density of a liquid?

Unlike a solid, a liquid has no defined shape. It is able to take the shape of a container and flow freely. It maintains a fairly constant density. Its density is higher than a gas, but less than a solid. The particles have only temporary bindings, allowing them to travel freely.


Will silver float or sink in water?

no gold does not float in water because it has a density higher than 1 which is the density for water. Therefore, it sinks.rofl


How does the density of water in its solid state compare to that of other solid materials?

The density of water in its solid state, which is ice, is lower than that of most other solid materials. This is why ice floats on water.
