Does water with a greater volume cool faster than water with a less volume?
No, water with a greater volume will cool slower than water with a lower volume because it takes more energy to heat or cool a larger volume of water. The larger volume of water will retain heat longer than the smaller volume.
Is 19.3 milliliters of water greater than 1 milliliter of gold?
Yes, 19.3 milliliters of water is greater than 1 milliliter of gold because water has a lower density than gold, so it occupies more volume for the same mass.
What happens to an object that has bigger mass than volume in water?
An object with greater mass than volume will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. The object will displace an amount of water equal to its volume, and it will sink until the weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the object.
Which of these objects will most likely float?
Any with a density less than water, or, like a metal ship, an object with a shape which makes its volume greater than the volume of water that it displaces and is sealed so that water will not flow into it.
Are the volumes of water and ice the same?
The volume of a 100 milliliters of liquid water would be less if it were frozen. Water as ice (i.e. solid), is less dense than water as a liquid. The water would have the same mass whether solid or liquid, but its molecules occupy more space as a solid than they do as a liquid. This is a very unusual natural phenomenon, which is good for us or any frozen bodies of water would have all the life in it crushed by sinking ice!
