A pillow is less dense than a lead sinker. Density is defined by mass per unit volume. So, if you have the same mass (weight) of a pillow, and a lead sinker, which will take up more space (volume)? The answer is the pillow. Thus, it is LESS dense.

Would sinkers in water sink in oil?
Oil is less dense than water, so it would not be able to support what water cannot, therefore a sinker that sinks in water would sink in oil.

Will things that are less dense sink?
Less dense. a simple example will explain why; imagine a boat , it's howl is a metal frame about one inch thick with metal , and the deck. between the top deck and the bottom bowl are huge spacer's with air. this is less dense and the boat floats. Now imagine the howl filled with just metal to the deck, a solid object, more dense. What happens?..Boat sinks.
What can gamma rays penetrate?
Pretty much anything, it would take a few metres depth of lead or some equally dense material to stop it.
How do you tell silver from lead?

Would sinkers in water sink in oil?
Oil is less dense than water, so it would not be able to support what water cannot, therefore a sinker that sinks in water would sink in oil.
Is the earth moon less dense than mercury?
Density of our Moon: 3.346 (g/cm3). Density of planet Mercury: 5.427 (g/cm3). So, yes, it is less dense.
What arrangement of material may lead to convective motion?
denser material on top of less dense material
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
What is least dense cork or lead?
