How does an object's density determine whether the object will sink or float in water?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether an object will sink or float in water based on its density, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Density**: - Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). - The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³ (or 1000 kg/m³). ...
