Water is most dense at about 3 degrees C at which time if it is in a fresh water lake it wil sink to the bottom of the lake. Typically, when the entire lake turns to 3 degrees the top layer of water cools and expands and freezes and that's why ice floats...thank goodness or we would have no hockey.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How do you find density of an object in water?
To find the density of an object in water, first measure the mass of the object using a scale. Then, measure the volume of the water displaced by the object when it is submerged. Divide the mass of the object by the volume of water displaced to calculate the density of the object in water.
Why do things float?
Because they are less dense than the water. We call the amount of mass in a given volume of space the density. For instance, we could measure the mass of some fresh water in a container. We would then divide the mass of the water by the volume of the container to find the density. However, if we filled the same container with salt water, it would have more mass because the ocean water has the mass of pure water plus the mass of the salt. Since there is more mass in the same volume, ocean water has a greater density then fresh water. For something to float, it must have a density that is less than in what it is floating in. It may seem odd that an enormous ship can float when steel is denser than water. However, if you look at the entire ship you see that there are many places filled with things less dense than water, like air. This means that the density of the entire ship is less dense than that of the water it floats in. To understand why things less dense then water float in water go to the question "Why do some things float but not others?" in the Related Questions section below.An object floats because it is less dense than whatever it is floating in.
What would you do to find the density of a quarter?
To find the density of a quarter, you would first measure its mass using a scale. Then, you would measure its volume by water displacement, where you would measure the amount of water the quarter displaces when submerged. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the quarter.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a known volume of water in a container, note the initial water level, then submerge the object in the water and measure the new water level. The difference in water levels is the volume of the object.
How dense is Saturn?
Saturn is the least dense of all the Planets. It has been said that if you could find a large enough bath - and water, Saturn would float. This is because Saturn's mean density is lower than water at 0.687 g/cm³
In which layer of earth would you expect to find the least dense materials?
The crust is the least dense portion of the solid Earth because it is the thinnest layer.
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.
Where would you find the least dense elements in a star?
Denser elements in a star tend to condense near the star's core, while less dense elements generally move outward towards the surface to take place in nuclear fusion.
What component would you least likely find in the Earth's mantle?
You would least likely find water in the Earth's mantle. The mantle is composed mainly of solid rock minerals, with little to no water present due to the high temperatures and pressures found at that depth.
Is this true or false water is more dense in its solid form than it is in its liquid phase?
Technically it's neither true nor false without additional information (we would need to know the temperature and pressure). However, for "ordinary" conditions that you might find on or near the surface of the Earth, ice (solid water) is less dense than water (liquid water).
If you had a big enough Ocean could Saturn float in it?
Saturn is not very dense... or solid. It is a giant ball of gas. Water is more dense that Saturn, therefore, Saturn would float on water. ________________ More specifically, the density of Saturn is 0.69, where water is 1.0. So if Saturn were a solid (which it is not), it would float. Saturn is by far the least dense of all the planets; even Uranus at 1.32 and Jupiter at 1.33 are more dense than water is. Earth is the MOST dense planet at 5.52, edging out Mercury at 5.43 and Venus at 5.24 in average density.
What materials you need to find what type of water contains the least amount of chlorine?
To find out which type of water contains the least amount of chlorine, you would need a chlorine test kit, various types of water samples (tap water, bottled water, filtered water, etc.), and a measuring cup or container. Follow the instructions on the test kit to test the chlorine levels in each water sample and compare the results to determine which type has the least amount of chlorine.
What planet would actually float in water?
Saturn would be the planet that would float in water due to its low density. Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen and helium, which are gases that are less dense than water. If you could find a big enough bathtub, Saturn would float!
Under which economic system would you find the least private ownership?
Under communism, you would find the least private ownership.
Where in the centrifuge tubes would you find the heavy parts of the blood?
The bottom as it is more dense
Where in Earth you would find the highest concentration of dense metals such as iron?
outer core
