Which statement is correct concerning the density of the objects. Water has a density of 1g/cm3 . If an object has a density greater than one it will sink at various levels. If the density is less than one it will float. The position in the water helps to determine the density.
I dislike questions like this. So that means a warship made of iron has a density less than 1.0 g/cc.
If the density is less than one it will float.
The correct statement concerning the density of objects is: "If an object has a density greater than one, it will sink at various levels. If the density is less than one, it will float."
To understand why this statement is correct, let's first understand what density is. Density is a measurement that describes how much mass (or weight) is packed into a given volume. It is commonly denoted as mass per unit volume, such as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3).
In the case of water, which has a density of 1g/cm3, any object with a density greater than 1g/cm3 will have more mass packed into the same volume and will therefore be denser than water. This means that the object will sink in water because it is heavier than an equivalent volume of water.
On the other hand, if an object has a density less than 1g/cm3, it means that it has less mass packed into the same volume compared to water. As a result, this object will be less dense than water and will float on its surface.
It's also worth noting that the statement mentions the "position in the water helps to determine the density." This statement is not accurate. The density of an object remains the same regardless of its position in the water. The position in the water mainly determines whether the object will float or sink based on its density compared to water.
