What is relative density?

Back

Relative density is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to the density of water. It determines whether an object will float or sink in water.

How do you determine the order of liquids from most dense to least dense?

Back

To determine the order of liquids by density, you compare their densities. The liquid with the highest density will sink below the others.

What happens to an object with a density less than water?

Back

An object with a density less than water will float.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water?

Back

An object with a density greater than water will sink.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

If a sugar cube is more dense than water, what will it do in water?

Back

The sugar cube will sink in water.

Front

What does it mean if an object has the same density as water?

Back

If an object has the same density as water, it will neither sink nor float; it will remain suspended in the water.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is defined as mass divided by volume (Density = Mass/Volume).

What is an example of a substance that is less dense than water?

Back

An example of a substance that is less dense than water is oil.

Front

What is an example of a substance that is more dense than water?

Back

An example of a substance that is more dense than water is mercury.
