Which has less density a cork or water?
A cork is less denser than water because cork is floating on water so it will have less density than 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. Density = mass / volume.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. Density = mass / volume.
What can you infer about the density if a block of the substance floats in water?
If a block of the substance floats in water, it means that the density of the substance is less than the density of water. Since objects with lower density than water float in water, we can infer that the substance is less dense than water.
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
What is the comparison of density to density of an equal volume of water?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
Why does water floats on water?
Because the density of the cotton is less than that of the water. It weighs less.
Which has less density a cork or water?
A cork is less denser than water because cork is floating on water so it will have less density than water

When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
What happens to cotton when wet?
it becomes thin and if worn and wet will be very cold
What can you infer about the density if a block of the substance floats in water?
If a block of the substance floats in water, it means that the density of the substance is less than the density of water. Since objects with lower density than water float in water, we can infer that the substance is less dense than water.
How do you know if a compound has a density less than 1 gmL?
If it floats in water, it has a density less than water. Density of water is 1.0 g/mL
What liquid has a density less than water?
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
What is the comparison of density to density of an equal volume of water?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
