Lab: Density of Solids

Question 9 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Which object will sink in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm3?

Answer
A
Object 1, which has a density of .08 g/cm3
B
Object 2, which has a density of 1.9 g/cm3
C
Object 3, which has a density of .06 g/cm3
D
Object 4, which has a density of .03 g/cm3

Explanation

An object sinks in a fluid when its density is greater than the fluid’s density. Freshwater has a density of 1.0 g/cm³, and Object 2 has a density of 1.9 g/cm³, so Object 2 will sink. The other objects are less dense than freshwater and will float.
