What else can I help you with?
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.
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.

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 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 can one determine if an object will float in water based on its density?
An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink.
How is the relative density of an object determined?
The relative density of an object is determined by comparing its density to the density of water. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the relative density is less than 1, the object will float in water; if it is greater than 1, it will sink.
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 will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.
Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?
An object with a density of 3.7 g/cm3 will sink in water (density of 1 g/cm3) because its density is greater than that of water. Objects float when their density is less than the density of the fluid they are placed in.
What is the density of an object to float in water?
An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water, which is 1 g/cm^3. This means that the weight of the object is less than the weight of the water it displaces, allowing it to float.
Would an object of g in volume and cm cubed be able to float in water?
An object will float in water if it has less density than the water. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume. For comparison, the density of water is: * 1 gram / cubic centimeter * 1 kilogram / liter * 1000 kilograms / cubic meter
