What compares an object's density to the density of water?

The object's density is compared to the density of water using a ratio known as specific gravity. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the specific gravity is greater than 1, the object will sink in water; if less than 1, it will float.


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.


How is density related to floating?

You must compare the densities of the object and whatever substance you are putting it in. If the density of an object is greater than the substance it is in, then the object will not float on the surfaceRead more: Which_law_tells_you_if_a_object_will_float_or_sink


How do you you find the density of an object by comparing it to another known density of a solution?

If your experiment shows that your unknown material has twice the density of your known material, you can simply look up the density of the control material and double it (or multiply by whatever the ratio is). This will give you the density of the unknown and you can attempt to identify it by looking for this number in a density table.


Is an objects density the measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known masses?

Yes, an object's density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, providing a relative measure of how tightly-packed the matter is within the object compared to a known standard, such as water.

The amount of mass an object has per its volume is known as .?

Density = Mass/Volume


If the density and volume of an object is known what can also be found?

If you know the density and the volume, you can calculate the mass. This is becausedensity = mass/volume.


What is the formula for calculating density if the mass and volume of an object are known?

How can you find the mass of an object if the volume of the object and the density of the liquid is known?

The law of conservation of mass states mass= density times volumeThe definition of density=mass/volumemultiply the density and the volume! =mass
