Lab: Density of Solids

Question 6 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

What happens when an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid?

Answer
A
The object will sink.
B
The object will float.
C
The object will become a solid.
D
The object will become a gas.

Explanation

An object denser than the surrounding liquid weighs more than the liquid it displaces, so the upward buoyant force is not enough to keep it afloat. It sinks. The correct choice is “The object will sink.”
