a log has a density of.8 g/cm³. what will happen to this log in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?\nit will sink.\nit will float.\nit will move deeper.\nit will decrease in density.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Compare densities

The density of the log is $0.8\ g/cm^{3}$ and that of freshwater is $1.0\ g/cm^{3}$. Since $0.8< 1.0$.

Step2: Recall buoyancy principle

An object with lower density than the fluid it is in will float.

Answer:

It will float.
