Question

3. For a boat to float on water, it must have a density lower than the density of water. Compare the densities of your unknown liquid and solid. If a boat was made of the unknown solid, would it float on the unknown liquid? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:it depense.

Explanation: whether a solid to floats or sinks is determined by its density. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float but if denser, it will sink. Whether the solid is known or not, as long as its density is greater than that of the liquid, it will definitely sink. But if it is lesser, it will definitely floats. Remember, density is simply mass over the volume m/v.

Answer 2

Answer: No

Explanation: if a boat was made of the unknown solid it would not float because it’s density was much higher than the density of water.
