Question

n the table below, write the density of each object. Then predict whether the object will float or sink in each of the fluids. Write “Float” or “Sink” in each empty box of the table. Object Object density Liquid density 0.5 g/mL 1.0 g/mL 2.0 g/mL 1 1.4 sink sink float 2 3 0.8 sink float float 4 5

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 g/mL----- float

1.0 g/mL---- float

2.0 g/mL-----sink

Explanation:

Those objects will float whose density is less or equal to water density due to lower mass while those object will sink whose density is greater than water because the mass of the object is greater than water. So the density of the object i. e. 0.5 g/mL and 1.0 g/mL will float in the liquid because its density is lower than water which is 1 g/mL while the density of an object i. e. 2.0 g/mL is denser than water so it will sink.
