This was Arcamedie's great discovery.

Weigh the gold.

Place the gold in a beaker full of water

Capture and measure the amount of the water displaced

divided the weight by the volume and you have the density.

If something has low density in it will it sink or float?

If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.


What it density?

Density can be thought of as how compacted something is. Density is calculated by mass divided by volume.


Sentence for density?

Density is how much mass something has for its volume.


When you squish something does the density stay the same?

No, when you squish something, its density does not stay the same. The density increases as the material is compressed into a smaller volume. This is because the mass remains the same while the volume decreases, leading to a higher density.


What is the density for something to float in water?

This density is under 1 g/cm3.


What is the kid definition of density?

How many toys you can squeeze under your bed when cleaning your room. Lots of toys = high density.


How can you change the density of something?

You can change the density of something by altering its mass and volume. Increasing the mass while keeping the volume constant will increase the density, while increasing the volume while keeping the mass constant will decrease the density.


How do you find the density of something?

you have to know the mass and volume of the object. density equals the mass divided by the volume. if the mass of something was 5 and the volume 1 the density would be 5


If something has a density of 0.22 will it float in water?

Yes, water has a density of approximately 1


When you cut something in half like a candy bar does the density change?

The density does not change.


What work do you have do in density?

divide the mass by the volume: mass/volume=density


Does volume tell you if something will sink or float?

No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.
