A group of students have a block of aluminum 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm. They conducted some tests and recorded their results. The students found a smaller block of aluminum that is only 1 cm by 1 cm by 1 cm. Which property do we expect to observe in the smaller block? The smaller block will -

• have a mass of 2.8kg

• float in water.

• conduct electricity.

• be attracted to a magnet.

Students filled a graduated cylinder with water and oil. Next they placed two samples, Substance X and Substance y, in the same graduated cylinder. The illustration shows the final positions of all these materials. What conclusion can be drawn from this observation?

• Water is less dense than oil.

• Substance Y is less dense than oil.

• Oil is more dense than water.

• Substance X is less dense than water.
