which object would sink in honey, which has a density of 1.4 g/cm³?\nobject 1 (0.9 g/cm³)\nobject 2 (1.2 g/cm³)\nobject 3 (0.2 g/cm³)\nobject 4 (2.3 g/cm³)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall density - sinking rule
An object sinks in a liquid if its density is greater than the density of the liquid.
Step2: Compare densities
The density of honey is $1.4\ g/cm^{3}$. Object 1 has density $0.9\ g/cm^{3}<1.4\ g/cm^{3}$, so it floats. Object 2 has density $1.2\ g/cm^{3}<1.4\ g/cm^{3}$, so it floats. Object 3 has density $0.2\ g/cm^{3}<1.4\ g/cm^{3}$, so it floats. Object 4 has density $2.3\ g/cm^{3}>1.4\ g/cm^{3}$, so it sinks.
Answer:
Object 4 (2.3 g/cm³)
