Density is the amount of mass per unit of space/volume.
For example, water has a density of around 1 kg/liter because 1 liter of water has a mass of 1 kg.
Something is less dense if the mass per volume is lower and more if it is higher.
Oil floats on water because it is heavier than the same volume of water (less dense), but a stone will drop to the bottom because it has a much higher density than its volume in water (denser).
Winds generally blow from areas of high pressure (denser air) to areas of low pressure (less dense air). This movement of air is due to the difference in air pressure between the two areas.
A less dense medium refers to a substance that has fewer particles or less mass per unit volume compared to another medium. Conversely, a denser medium has more particles or more mass per unit volume. Light travels faster in a less dense medium and slower in a denser medium.
The colder, denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate during subduction due to gravity. The older plate has had more time to cool and become denser, while the less dense plate is usually younger and has not had as much time to cool. This density contrast is a major driving force for subduction.
Bromine gas is denser than air. At room temperature and pressure, bromine gas is about 7 times denser than air.
Yes, warm air is less dense than cold air because as air is heated, the molecules gain energy and move farther apart, resulting in lower density. Conversely, cold air is denser because the molecules are closer together due to lower energy levels.
Typically, denser objects sink while less dense objects float. This is because denser objects have more mass per unit volume, causing them to displace less water than less dense objects, resulting in sinking.
less denser than
When a wave passes from a less dense to a denser medium, most of the wave energy is reflected back into the less dense medium.
Of course less denser, because a gas is always less denser than liquid.
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
No, the denser plate sinks under the less dense plate in a process called subduction.
less mater
The frequency of the wave remains the same when it travels from a denser to a less dense medium. However, the wave will change its speed and wavelength.
less denser than
Carbon Dioxide is less denser than air.
No. It is less dense. That's why it floats above water.
Pure ethanol is less dense.
