Question

question #11
while washing some berries, a student observes that the blueberries sink in water and the strawberries float in water. which statement explains this observation?

a a blueberry has a greater density than a strawberry.

b a blueberry has a greater volume than a strawberry.

c a strawberry has more weight than a blueberry.

d a strawberry has more surface area than a blueberry.

Explanation:

The sinking or floating of an object in water depends on its density relative to water. If an object's density is greater than water's, it sinks; if less, it floats. Blueberries sink (density > water density), strawberries float (density < water density), so blueberries have greater density than strawberries. Volume, weight, and surface area do not directly determine sinking/floating.

Answer:

A. A blueberry has a greater density than a strawberry.
