What object is greater then 1 meter cube?
sponge i dont know :/
How do you convert a cubic meter to kilogram?
You are trying to convert a unit of volume to a unit of weight. In order to determine the answer you would need to know the density of the object being measured. For example the density of water is approx. 1000 kg/m³
What volume of water has a mass of 1kg?
Density of water is 1000kg/m3. Also, Volume = Mass/Density = 1/1000 = 0.001m3. So, volume of water that has mass of 1 kg is 0.001m3.
How do you convert cubic centimeters into grams?
With water it's easy. 1 cm3 of pure water equals 1 gram. With everything else, you need to know the density. Then use the formula density = mass / volume. Re-write the formula as mass = density x volume. The unit of density is g/cm3 - so you need not convert the units.
How do you Convert pounds of chlorine to gallon?
You need to know the density of the chlorine which is affected by the temperature and pressure at which the chlorine is. Once you know the density, you can convert it using: density = mass/volume → volume = mass/density. You'll need to know the density in pounds per gallon.
How would you know if something would float on water?
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
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
What do you know about the density of water?
I do know about the density of water. The density of water is 1.0 grams/ millimeter. To find the density of an object, divide its mass by volume. If you have any further questions, ask me.
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
You do not. A metal ship, with density well above that of water, will float.
How can you use math to predict if an object will float or sink?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the liquid in which it is placed, it will sink. If the density is less, it will float. You can use math to calculate the density, if you know an object's mass and volume. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
How can you figer out the mass and voluem of somthing floating on water?
Water has a density of 1, so if the object floats, you know the object's density is less than 1. Density is mass divided by volume.
How do you know if an object will float or sink in fresh water?
It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than fresh water, it will sink. If it is less dense than the fresh water, it will float.
Light object that sinks?
Some of light objects will float and some of light object will sink . For An Example : A coin - it is light , isn't it ? But , it will sink in the water . Because , the density of coin is denser than water . water will be under the oil when they are mixed together in a container . It is because of the density too . How do you know the density of an object or liquids ? First , you should know the mass and volume of the object . After that , MASS DIVIDE VOLUME . You 'll get the density of the object or liquids . The bigger density will be under the smaller density object / liquids when they were mixed together . Of course the air , they are also have their own density .
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
What density are objects that sink in water?
It's greater than the density of the surrounding fluid medium. For example, a balloon filled with air sinks in air -- falls to the ground -- but floats in water. For water-tight objects, it is the average density that matters. The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. If the object weighs more than the weight of the water it displaces, it will sink, because the buoyant force will be less than the object's true weight. If it weighs less than the weight of the water displaced, it will float. If it weighs exactly the same as the water it displaces, it is said to have neutral buoyancy and will appear to be and behave as if it were weightless. In other words, its apparent weight will be zero. As discussed in the previous paragraph, if a submerged object sinks, we know it weighs more than the water it displaced. We can therefore conclude that it is denser than water.
How do you know if an object will sink or float in water based only their densities?
If a volume can be neglected the object must have less density than water.
