Density Simulation

What I learned about density is that it s the weight of the mass like how something floats on water and other stuff don't float on water because it is way more heavier and it has more density in it.

Density Simulation


What I learned from the simulation is that density can vary on the volume of the object. To find the density of an object, the formula is mass divided volume equals density. I learned that if two blocks have the same density, but one is smaller and one is bigger, the smaller one will sink and the bigger one will float. The smaller one will sink because it has a smaller volume, causing the particles to be packed tightly together. The bigger block has a bigger volume, allowing the particles to move more freely, making the block less dense. 

density

mass divided by volume = density

will it float the only way to find out is to try it.

density


I  learned that when you take mass divided by volume equals density. if you have a block with the same mass they will do the the same. if you have a block with the same volume they will do what ever they really want.

Density Simulation

Doing the density simulation, I noticed that when you make a substance bigger like wood, it will still float. But brick would always stay at the bottom no matter what size. The amount of water in the tank did not effect the sinking and floating substances.

Density Simulation

Density... Will it float? Mass divided by volume, this is what will give you the density of your object. If you have a small block with the same amount of mass as a bigger block, which do you think will float. The bigger one because it is bigger? If you guess that, you  would be wrong. The smaller block and the bigger block have the same mass but the volume is different. Since the smaller block has all that mass compacted into a tighter place, this will cause this block to sink. With more space for the the other block it will make this block float. So before you make a prediction on whether it will float or not then you should check the size of your block and see how much density is compacted into that block.

Denisity

Mass Divided by Volume equals Denisity. 
 If you put something in the water it makes the water higher and because of the denisity.

Density

 I switched the material to aluminum, it wouldn't float. I switched it to wood and it floated. I made the wood bigger and it still floated. I switched to ice and it floated even when it was big. I made it bricks and it didn't float even when it was small. Even if the volume is small it could still sink cause of the weight and density. 

Density Simulation

I already know that density is mass divided by volume, but I did not know that aluminum wouldn't float at all. In the density simulation, I learned that even if you change the mass and the volume of the aluminum, it won't float. Aluminum is to dense to float, even if the mass decreases and the volume increases. This was an interesting discovery for me because I always thought that aluminum would float, but it ended up sinking.

Density Simulation

To find density you have to take mass/volume. In the density simulation I found that if all of the blocks had the same mass the smaller the block would sink. If the block was more dense than the water it would sink to the bottom. So the bigger block would flout because the water is more dense

Density Simulation

In this simulation I learned that if there is a bigger volume and a low mass the block will most likely float. Also if there is a low volume and a big mass it will sink. But if you have a big volume it helps because it has a bigger area to cover so most likely it won't displace enough water to sink.

Density Simulation

I have learned many things about density while doing the density simulation. One thing that I'm mainly going to focus on is that mass and volume both pertain to density. The formula for density is mass divided by volume. Mass is a property of a physical body which determines the strength of gravitational attraction to other bodies. Volume is the amount of space that an substance or object occupies. The density of a substance is the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up, (volume). The mass of atoms, their size, and how they are arranged determine the density of a substance.

Density simulation

What I learned about Density is that if there is a bunch of squares that have the same mass but thte only difference is the volume so that might float or might sink. If they have the same volume the mass could be different so they could sink or float.


Density

When the block floated it was less dense than the water. when it was more dense than the water than it would sink because it was more dense than the water

Density Simulation

Density is a weird thing. Density is what determines whether or not an object will float. Density is volume divided by mass. I could have a big block, and high density. I could have a small block and have low density. The smaller the volume and the bigger the mass, creates a higher density. If I have five blocks that all have the same volume, but different mass, they will all have different density. The block that has very little mass, will float. But the block with a lot of mass, will sink.

Density Simulation

       I learned from the density simulator that the mass means how tightly packed they are. If the block is bigger, it is most likely to float because the molecules are more spread apart. The smaller blocks are most likely to sink because they are tightly packed together. Different masses means different surface area it floats. Also, if the blocks are the same size, they have the same volume. The density formula is mass divided by volume.


Density Simulation

In the simulation, I learned that if the volume is the same the mass are going to be different. Example would be, if I would but a small brick in the water a big piece of wood in the same water, why does the big piece of wood float? It floats because the atoms within the wood are more spread out and therefore it will float. But if I would but a heavier piece of wood in the water it would sink. Why? It  would sink because the atoms in the wood are more packed together. I also learned that you can't say if an object will float or sink without doing the math first or experimenting it.

Density Simulation

In the Density Simulation, I learned that don't judge a block by its size or appearance. The smaller the block was, the more dense it had to it. How do you get density? It's very simple. Mass divided by volume, which I already knew.

Density Simulation

 The density simulation is the relationship between mass, volume, and the density. What I learned in the density simulation is that the mass and the volume both equal to the density. I also learned about the cubes having the same or different mass and that either they will float or sink.

Density Simulation

What I learned about Density is that if there is a bunch of cubes that have the same mass the difference is the volume so that might float or might sink. If they have the same volume the mass could be different so they could sink or float.

Density Simulation

I had no idea that aluminum wouldn't float at all. When I switched the material to aluminum, it wouldn't float. I changed the mass and the volume. It still wouldn't change. Also that with you custom block, at 0.52 it would float. In order for it to float the density of the block has to be less than the water. Vice versa.
          .
Mass  - Volume = Density
          . 

density simulation

density determines how heavy or how hard it is and volume determines how big something is  and can be timed to find mass.

Density Simulation

I think density is the material that is more thicker or dense inside. So each is more dense like a soccer ball is less dense than a brick. So that is what I think density is.
