What would happen if you tried to find the density of an object with a density less than water?
If you try to find the density of an object with a density less than water, the object will float in water. This indicates that the object is less dense than water. To find the density of such an object, you would divide the mass of the object by its volume.
What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?
-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.
How would you know if something would float on water?
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
If an object is more dense than water?
Assuming the object is solid and doesn't dissolve in water, it will sink. Actually, even if it does dissolve it will sink until it dissolves (table salt for example). If it is a liquid, then it depends on it's polarity. If it is a non-polar substance that happens to be denser than water, it will form a layer on the bottom (most non-polar substances are lighter than water and float on top but there are a few exceptions). If it is a polar liquid, then it will form a solution with water (glycerol for example is a polar substance heavier than water but forms a solution with water instead of sinking to the bottom).
Why would a cork float in water?
In general, an object floats if it is less dense (has less density) than the water (or other liquid).

What is the desnity of an object that has a mass 350 g and a volume of 95 cm's 3 Would this object float in water Explain?
It would sink because the object is more dense than the water.
What would happen if air was more dense than water?
Everyone on earth would drown.
When would the displacement of water not be a good method for finding the volume?
It would not be good for finding the volume of an object that is less dense than water. Such an object would float and therefore would not displace its full volume worth of water.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
When an object is placed in a less dense liquid or gas, it will experience a buoyant force acting against gravity. If the object's density is greater than that of the surrounding medium, it will sink; if the object's density is less, it will float. The object will displace a volume of the medium equal to its own volume.
Why would an object float higher in salt water then fresh water?
In salt water the water is more dense but in regular water the water isn't as dense so it couldn't float an object higher than salt water.More specifically, an object that floats in a liquid exactly displaces an amount of liquid having the same mass as the object. This is called bouyancy. Since the density (mass per volume) of salt water is greater than that of fresh water, an object will displace less volume, i.e. float higher in the salt water, than it would in fresh water.

What would happen if ice were not less dense than water?
If ice were not less dense than water, ice would form from the bottom up in bodies of water, freezing the aquatic life, and possibly killing off most of the aquatic life every winter.

How much would someone weigh under water?
It depends on the density of the object that weighs one pound, and how much of it is under water. The object will weight 1lb - water density * object volume under water; If the object is on average is less dense the water (i.e. is buoyant), and is allowed to swim, its weight will be 0 because proportion of its volume under water will compensate gravity exactly.
What would happen if a fish that lives in a salt-water condition were put into Fresh water?
Freshwater is less dense than saltwater so the fish so it would internally rupture.
