How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
What density does an object have to have to sink in water?
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
Why liter of water is heavier than liter of ethanol?
The density of water is greater than the density of ethanol. This is partly a result of how tightly packed the molecules of the substance are.
Why does seawater have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
Does water have a greater mass than lead?
water has less density than lead. Mass depends on its volume
A boat will float higher in the Atlantic Ocean than in the Potomac River because ocean water has -?

Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
Which is densier ocean water or tap water?
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. The salts and minerals in ocean water have more mass/volume than the water. So, the total density is greater .
What density does an object have to have to sink in water?
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
Why is it easier to float in the Atlantic Ocean compared to Lake Erie?
Salt water has a greater density than freshwater does.
Is it true the density of water is 1.36 times greater than the density of water?
No.
What is the density of head?
Slightly greater than the density of water.
