Answer:

No

Explanation:

The density of an object is the determinant factor if an object will stay afloat or sink. Density of an object is the ratio of mass of an object to its volume

ρ = m / v

Where p = density

m = mass

V = volume of an object.

From the mathematical equation,

Object with higher mass compared to its volume will sink while objects with lower mass compared to its volume will stay afloat.

Also the density of the object as to be compared to the density of the solution. If an object A has a higher density than liquid B, and A is placed on B, A will definitely sink because it has a higher density compared to liquid B. However is A has a lower density compared to liquid B, A will remain afloat.

Answer:

no.

Density (mass / volume) determines whether an object floats or sinks. If the object is less dense than the medium in which it has been submerged, it floats. if it is more dense, it sinks. Volume will definitely determine if a steel ship floats, as steel is far more dense than water.

NemiM [27]
The correct answer would be the last option.  The property that is common to all group 2 elements is that they  tend to form ionic bonds by losing electrons making these atoms positive charge. They are called cations. These elements are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and radium.

What is one of the BEST practices officers should use when securing a crime scene?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The best practices officers should use when securing a crime scene is option D

D. They should secure a larger area than the actual crime scene

Explanation:

Officers should secure the scene by limiting access to the scene and movement within the scene

Three layers of secure perimeter should be used by officers to secure a crime scene, with the smallest inside perimeter being the actual crime scene

Next to the crime scene, is an inner perimeter which is the designated meeting point/command post

The outer perimeter, which is the third outer layer is to keep onlookers, passerby, and nonessential personnel at safety and out of the actual crime scene.
