Where does less that one hundredth of one percent of earths fresh water exist?
In the bottle of water in front of me. It contains about 1 sixtillionths of 1 percent the world's water which, as required, is less than 1 hundredth of 1 percent.
Why do steel ships float if the density of iron is much greater than the density of water?
The ships are not made of solid iron. They contain much empty space where the cargo and or passengers go. So the overall density of a ship: its TOTAL mass divided by its TOTAL volume is less than that of water.
Which is have a greater volume 1 kilogram of copper and 1 kilogram of iron?
Oh, what a lovely question! You see, both 1 kilogram of copper and 1 kilogram of iron have the same weight because they both weigh 1 kilogram. However, copper is denser than iron, so a 1-kilogram block of copper will take up less space than a 1-kilogram block of iron. It's all about how tightly packed the atoms are in each material.
Is a bucket of snow is heavier or a bucket of water?
A bucket of water is heavier than a bucket of snow when both are of the same size. This is because water is denser than snow; snow contains a significant amount of air, which makes it lighter. Thus, even a full bucket of snow will weigh less than a full bucket of water.
Describe why one kg of iron in comparision to one kg of cotton takes less space?
Since one Kg of iron is much more dense (the weight is concentrated in a smaller area) than cotton, it takes up less space.
