A ball with a density of 1100 kg/m3 is submerged in two liquids: water 1000 kg/m3 and honey 1400kg/m3. What will the ball do?

Respuesta :

Objects that are less dense than their environment will float. Objects that are more dense than their environment will sink. 

[Water] Water has a density of 1000 kg/m^3, while the ball has a density of 1100 kg/m^3. Since the ball is more dense, it will sink.

[Honey] Honey has a density of 1400 kg/m^3, while the ball has a density of 1100 kg/m^3. Since the ball is less dense, it will float.
