An apple has a volume of 10ml and a mass of 0.8g. Will it sink or float in watee and I need to show my work

To determine whether an apple will sink or float in water, we need to compare the density of the apple with the density of water.

The density of an object is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume:

Density = Mass / Volume

In this case, the mass of the apple is 0.8g and its volume is 10ml.

Density = 0.8g / 10ml

However, to compare this with the density of water, we need to convert the volume from milliliters (ml) to grams (g) because the mass of water and density are usually given in grams.

To convert ml to g for water, we can use the following conversion factor: 1ml = 1g.

So, the volume of the apple in grams is 10g.

Density = 0.8g / 10g = 0.08

Now, the density of water is around 1g/ml. Therefore, anything with a density less than 1g/ml will float in water and anything with a density greater than 1g/ml will sink.

In this case, the density of the apple is 0.08g/ml, which is less than 1g/ml. Therefore, the apple will float in water.

To summarize, the apple will float in water because its density (0.08g/ml) is less than the density of water (1g/ml).
