Question

Objects P and Q are placed in a bowl of water. P floats and Q sinks. Which one or more of the following can be deduced from this information? 1. Q is heavier than PII. 1 cm 3 of Q has a greater mass than 1 cm 3 of P. II. Q is denser than water, and water is denser than P. * a)l only
b)I and II only
c)II and III only
d)1, 11 and III​

Answer 1

The correct option that can be deduced for both Object P and Q is Option b) I and II only

To solve this question correctly, we need to understand the concept of density and it relation to mass and volume.

What is Density?

Density is a physical property of an object and can be expressed by using the relation:

$\mathbf{Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}}$

From the given parameters, we are being told that:

• P → floats
• Q → sinks

This implies that Q has a greater density that P. Since Q has a greater density than P, Q will be heavier since it will have greater mass.

However, Q will not be denser than water because if that happens, P will be have a greater density which is untrue in this scenario.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

• 1. Q is heavier than P
• II. 1cm³ of Q has a greater mass than 1cm³ of P
