Question

which object will sink in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?
object 1, which has a density of.08 g/cm³
object 2, which has a density of 1.9 g/cm³
object 3, which has a density of.06 g/cm³
object 4, which has a density of.03 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density - sinking rule

An object sinks in water if its density is greater than the density of water. The density of freshwater is approximately 1.0 g/cm³.

Step2: Compare object densities

Object 1 has density 0.08 g/cm³ < 1.0 g/cm³. Object 2 has density 1.9 g/cm³ > 1.0 g/cm³. Object 3 has density 0.06 g/cm³ < 1.0 g/cm³. Object 4 has density 0.03 g/cm³ < 1.0 g/cm³.

Answer:

Object 2
