Question

If an object has a density of 0.375 g/cm, would it sink or float when place in a container
of water? Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

float

Explanation:

Because the weight would be high so the density would be less

Answer 2

Answer:

If an object has a density of 0.375 $\frac{g}{c m^{3}}$ it will float on the surface of the container.

Explanation:

• Density is stated as the "mass per unit volume" of the substance.
• Density measures the quantity of matter present in an object to its volume.
• For pure water the density value is 1 $\frac{g}{c m^{3}}$.
• For example, if an object is placed in a vessel and its density value is smaller than the water density it floats on the surface.
• If the object has more density value than the water density it sinks into the vessel.
