Do a plastic button float yes or no?

Yes, a plastic button can float in water depending on its design, shape, and density. Generally, plastic buttons have a low density which allows them to float on the surface of water.


Does a shirt button float?

Most do not. Ask your parents if they have an extra shirt button. If they have one, drop it in a glass of water, and see if it will float. Most will not.


How do you calculate the relative density of a substance?

To calculate the relative density of a substance, you divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The formula is: Relative Density Density of Substance / Density of Water. The relative density is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to water.


How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?

An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

What is the difference of relative density and density?

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water). Relative density is dimensionless and is often used to identify substances or determine their purity based on their comparison to a standard substance.

What does the oil stay on the button when you mix oil and water?

This occurs because the oil has a higher density (mass divided by volume) that the water.

What must be the density of an object with a mass of 5000 grams if the object is to float in water?

In order for an object to float on water, its overall density must be less than 1 g/cc.That goes for a shirt-button, a super-tanker, or an iceberg the size of Texas. The object's massmakes no difference.


What is the difference density and relative density?

DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water

Is density is density extensive?

Density is an intensive property.
