How could it be possible that an object with a density greater than that of water could float in water?
There are two ways to make an object with a density greater than water float on it:
1) reduce its density, for example by hollowing it out or adding further structures with a density [much] less than that of water so that it can displace a volume of water equal to its own weight and still have some of its structure above the surface of the water; or
2) Use the surface tension of water so that the object floats - dropping a steel sewing needle on its side very gently onto water will prevent it breaking the surface tension of the water and it will float, until such time as the surface tension is broken, eg by adding a few drops of washing up liquid or agitating the surface, when the needle will sink. (The needle needs to be clean.)

What has a mass of 27 g and a volume of 10cm3?
To determine the density of the object, we can use the formula: Density = Mass / Volume. Plugging in the values given, Density = 27g / 10cm^3 = 2.7 g/cm^3. Therefore, the object has a density of 2.7 g/cm^3.

'is it possible to find the volume of an irregular object without using water'?
By definition, an irregular object is one that does not have an easy mathematical representation, it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to calculate its volume without placing it into a solution of some sort. Attempts to calculate volume otherwise would be subject to severe rounding error, and would thus make it unsuitable for scientific use. For the very special case where the object is uniform and/or its density, ρ=m/V, is known, then its volume could be determined from its mass, V=m/ρ.
What is the least possible decimal greater than zero but less than one?
The least possible decimal that is greater than zero but less than one is point zero infinite times THEN one. One could try to write it as point zero one with a repitan over the zero, but i don't think that that is an acceptable format to use when writing decimals. Hope this helps!
What does an underlined greater than sign mean?
It means greater/less than or equal to. For instance x>3 could be any number greater than 3, but not 3. With the underline, it could be any number greater than or including 3.
How could you determine if an object has greater density than water?
You can determine if an object has greater density than water by comparing their densities. If the object's density is greater than 1 g/cm^3, it will sink in water; if it is less than 1 g/cm^3, it will float. If you know the mass and volume of the object, you can calculate its density and compare it to the density of water, which is 1 g/cm^3.
What will an object do when it is placed in a liquid of greater density?
It could dissolve.Or it could float or sink. Which of the two it does depends on the mass of the liquid that it displaces which, in turn, depends on the shape of the object.
Why will the object with the greatest mass not necessarily have the greatest density?
Not necessarily, it would depend on the density of the object. Density = mass / volume. So, you could have something like this. Density of A = 10 g/mL, volume of A = 1 mL. Density of B = 1 g/mL, volume = 5mL. The volume of A < B, however, the mass of A > B.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water is dropped into water.?
It depends on the shape of the object. Otherwise you could not make metal ships.
How is it possible that a can with a calculated density greater than 1.00grams could have floated in water?
Buoyancy is related to the amount of water displaced by an object, rather than it's density. You see this with ships all the time. The object may be much more dense than water, but if it can displace enough water to counteract the force of gravitation, it will remain afloat.
What could you do to an object to change its density?
Adding heat to the object if the object is a solid.
How could you define the density?
Density = mass of an object divided by the volume of that object. Its unit is mass per unit volume.
What is densety?
The Amount of mass and volume in a object, to get the density you have to do this formula (Mass divided volume = Density) by the way it Density not densety.
How can the composition of an object be determined using density?
The composition of an object can be determined using density by comparing its measured density to known densities of different materials. By calculating the density of the object and matching it to a known substance, it can be identified. This method is especially useful for mixtures where the density is a weighted average of the component densities.
Will an object with a mass of 0.33N float?
No, an object with a mass of 0.33N will not float. In order for an object to float, its buoyant force must be greater than its weight. A mass of 0.33N would have a weight greater than the buoyant force it would experience in a fluid, causing it to sink.
If an object floats in water what can you conclude about its density relative to water?
In general the density of the floating object has to be less than that of water. BUt it is not always necessary to be so. Even dense material could be shaped in such a way it could float on water. The main thing is that the weight of the displaced water has to be more than that of the floating object. This is Archimedes principle.
How can you tell when two liquids with the same volume which one has greater density?
You can determine which liquid has greater density by measuring the mass of equal volumes of each liquid. The liquid with greater mass per unit volume has higher density. Alternatively, you could also check their buoyancy when placed in the same container – the liquid that floats on top has lower density.
