Question

Object A: has a mass of 2g a volume of .5L

object b: has a mass of 3g and a volume of 5L

water has a density of 1g/L, which object will sink in water?which one Will float? I will you20 points if correct

Answer 1

An object will be floating in water if the density is lower and will be sink if the density is higher. Water density would be 1000g/liter or 1g/ml. To determine whether the object float or sink you need to calculate both object density.

The density of object A would be: 2g/ 0.5liter= 4g/liter
The density of object B would be: 3g/ 5liter= 0.6g/liter

It is clear that the object is much lighter than water so both objects would float.
