Question

question 1 - 11
jacob poured two unknown liquids into an empty container. liquid b sank to the bottom of the container while liquid a remained on the top. next, jacob dropped a solid, round object into the container of liquids. refer to the image below.
which statement best describes the densities of the items in the container?
the solid object is more dense than the liquids because its particles are more compact
the solid object is more dense than liquid a but less dense than liquid b.
you must answer all parts of the question to proceed.

Explanation:

Density determines whether an object floats or sinks. A denser substance sinks below a less - dense one. Liquid B (blue) sank, so it is denser than Liquid A (yellow). The solid object is denser than Liquid A (as it sank below Liquid A) but less dense than Liquid B (as it floated on Liquid B).

Answer:

The solid object is more dense than Liquid A but less dense than Liquid B.
