Question

water has a density of about 0.0361 pounds/cubic inch. you might know that wood floats on water. what can you conclude about the densities of objects that float and the densities of objects that do not? review your results from parts b and c before deciding. 15px

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An object will float in another if it's density is lower than that of the fluid it is in.

Ice floats in water because ice has a density less than that of water

Wood floats in water because wood has a density less than that of water

Stone sinks in water because it has a density more than that of water

For example, density of water = 1 g/cm³ while the density of ice = 0.9 g/cm³ which is less than 1
