Question

If the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3, which of these materials would float in water, based on their densities? Check all that apply. Aluminum cork iron lead wax

Answer 1

Cork and Wax

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: cork and wax

Step-by-step explanation: Density is defined as the mass of substance contained per unit volume.

A substance which has higher density than water will sink in water and the one which has lower density than water will float in water.

Given: density of water =
`1.0 g/cm^3`

As we know: density of aluminium =
`2.70 g/cm^3`

density of cork =
`0.24 g/cm^3`

density of iron=
`7.87 g/cm^3`

density of lead=
`11.34 g/cm^3`

density of wax =
`0.9 g/cm^3`

Thus as density of cork and wax is lower as compared to water, both cork and wax will float in water.
