What is the density of a steel hammer in a spaceship?
Look up the density of steel. It should be no different in a spaceship than on Earth.
Can you convert tons of steel into M3?
You can, but only if you know the density (or specific gravity) of the steel. Since steel is an alloy, its density is variable - depending on the other substances and their proportions in the alloy.
How much does 1 square foot of steel weigh?
Depends, of course, on the density of the steel.
What is the density of a steel hammer on a spaceship?
The density is not affected by gravity. it is a measure of a substances mass to volumn. Therefor the density of a steel hammer on a spaceship is the same as one on earth (approx 7850 kg/m^3)
How many grams of steel would fit into a space measuring 4 cm cubed?
It depends on the density of steel. There are many types of steel depending on what substances are alloyed together. The density of stainless steel can range from 7.5 to 8 grams per cm3. But there are other types of steel that are denser or lighter.
What will happen to a solid made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
The answer depends on the shape of the object. Ships, made from steel, which is denser than water, do float!
What will happen to a solid objects made from matter from with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
The answer depends on the shape of the object. Ships, made from steel, which is denser than water, do float!
Why can steel ships float on water although steel is denser than water?
Steel ships float on water because their shape is designed to displace enough water to create a buoyant force that is greater than the weight of the ship. This buoyant force allows the ship to float despite the steel being denser than water.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
The answer depends on the shape of the object. Ships, made from steel, which is denser than water, do float!
Will silver float in Mercury?
Yes, silver would float in mercury because silver is less dense than mercury. This means that silver would displace an amount of mercury equal to its own weight, allowing it to float on top of the mercury.
Why do ships float even if they are made of a material more dense than water?
What matters when you consider the ability of something to float is the mass of water it can displace. This needs to be greater than the mass of the ship. A steel ship is not steel all the way through, a lot of the inside is air, so the effective density is much smaller than if it were all steel.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
If a substance floats in water, it is less dense than water. This means that its mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Substances with lower density will float on top of substances with higher density.
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
What is density out of water carbon dioxide and steel which has greater density?
Steel has the greatest density of the three.
How can a ship made out of steel with a density much higher than the density of water float on the water?
The steel has a density greater than water; but the ship does not. To calculate density, you divide mass by volume. This includes the mass - and the volume - of any air trapped inside the ship.
How steel can make a ship float?
An object will float if it has a density that is less than that of water. Or whatever liquid it is placed on. In the case of a ship, that includes not just the steel, but the entire ship - including air trapped inside the ship.
Explain how you can make plastic sink and steel float?
Look at a ship for example... It is made entirely of steel but it manages to stay afloat. The steel ships are filled with air which causes the average density to be less than water's density (1.00 g/ml). If you had a piece of plastic it would just sink because the density is more than water.
