What else can I help you with?
What determines the mass of objects that have equal volume?
Density. This is quantified as a mass over a volume, so if you know the volume, the density will allow you to determine the mass of an object. Density equals mass divided by volume so mass is equal to density multiplied by volume.
Does a less dense liquid float?
Yes, less dense liquids float on top of denser liquids. This is due to buoyancy, where objects with less density displace an equal weight of the denser fluid, causing them to float. This principle is why substances like oil float on water.
Do solid objects always sink in liquids?
No. Only solids denser than water will sink. The means a solid will only sink in water if it weighs more than an equal volume of water. Solids that float in water include ice, wood, and fat.
What do you notice about the density of sinking objects?

If 2 objects have the same density what else must be the same?
If two objects have the same density, then their mass and volume must also be the same. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, so if the density is the same for two objects, it means that the ratio of their mass to volume is equal.

4.5oz is equal to how many pounds?
It depends on the liquids density,it can vary,Oil for instance is thicker than water,thus heavier in density.

Why do some objects float in fluids but others don't?
Objects float in fluids when the fluid exerts an upward force (buoyant force) equal to the object's weight. This happens when the object is less dense than the fluid. Objects that are denser than the fluid will sink because the buoyant force is less than the object's weight.
What is the relationship between density and buoyancy for objects and substances?
Density and buoyancy are inversely related. Objects or substances with higher density than the fluid they are placed in will sink, while objects with lower density will float. This is due to the buoyant force exerted on an object being equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, which is dependent on the density of both the object and the fluid.
What is Compares is an objects density to the density of water?
Specific gravity is a measurement that compares the density of an object to the density of water. It tells you how much heavier or lighter an object is compared to an equal volume of water.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
If the density of a solid substance is greater than that of the liquid it is placed in, the solid substance will sink to the bottom of the liquid. This occurs because objects with higher density will displace an equal volume of the lower density liquid, causing the solid to sink.
How can you tell if two liquids with the same volume which one has greater density?
To determine which liquid has greater density, you would need to compare their masses. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. By measuring the mass of both liquids and knowing their volumes (which are equal in this case), you can calculate their densities and determine which one is greater.
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
