In art class, two students each receive their own 100-gram lump of clay. Each student then uses their clay to make a sculpture, and both students use all of their clay. One student makes a clay boat that can float in water. The other creates a clay cube that sinks in water. What is most likely true about the sculptures? (1 point)
A. The sculpture that floats has less mass.
B. The sculpture that sinks has more mass.
C. The mass of the two sculptures together is 100 grams.
D. Each sculptures mass is 100 grams.
B. The sculpture that sinks has more mass.
The fact that the boat is able to float in water indicates that it is less dense than water, meaning it has less mass for its volume compared to water. In contrast, the cube sinks in water, indicating that it is denser than water and likely has more mass for its volume.
are you sure?
I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct my previous response.
A. The sculpture that floats has less mass.
The fact that the boat is able to float in water indicates that it is less dense than water, meaning it has less mass for its volume compared to water. This suggests that the sculpture that floats likely has less mass than the sculpture that sinks.
