You can determine whether a solid substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the substance is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the substance is more dense. If the density of the substance is less than the density of water, then the substance is less dense.
No, a rubber duck is less dense than water. It will float on the surface of the water because it is less dense.
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
Bubbles rise in water because they are less dense than water. The buoyant force pushes the lighter bubble upwards through the denser water.
Milk is a mixture of various milkfats and other things in water. As such, it makes sense that the density of milk is greater than that of water. However, the density of fat is less than water. The density of milk is not fixed and can vary from milk processor to milk processor; form cow to cow. The density of milk is very similar to that of water. Density of water = 1.0 g/mL Density of milk = 1.03 g/mL If you had a kilogram (2.2 lb) of each of them, the volume of milk would be about half a teaspoon more. That is very close to the same density. With a 1000 kg (450 lb) the difference in volume is about 30 litres/liters (~8 gal.).
Earth is more dense.
Yes. It is more dense and colder -- the most dense and most cold of any ocean water on Earth.
no, oil is not more dense than water
Water is 784 times more dense than water.
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
more dense
Everyone on earth would drown.
Ice is less dense than water
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
More Dense.
Drop the object into a container of water - if it sinks, the object is more dense than water. If it floats, the object is less dense than water.
More dense.
