Question

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY 13 POINTS +7 FOR BEST ANSWER!!! calculate the density of an object that has a mass of 3.0 g and a volume of 5.0 cm3. will the object float or sink when placed in water, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm3?

Answer 1

Density = mass / volume.

D = 3/5 = 0.6 g/cm^3.

Anything whose density is less than the density of the fluid you drop it into will float in that fluid.
This object will float in water.

Answer 2

Density = 3/5 = 0.6g/cm^3. Since the density is less than the density of water, which is 1, the object will float.
