A piece of wood that measures 3.0 cm by 6.0 cm by 4.0 cm has a mass of 80.0 grams. What is the density of the wood? Would the piece of wood float in water?
D=1.1g/cm^3 It will sink.
300
Explain how you know if an object would sink or float in water?
The density of water is 1g/cm^3 so if an objects density is more than that it will sink, if it is less it will float.

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of a piece of aluminum is 244 grams, what is the volume of the aluminum?
V= 90.4 mL

In class we watched a video on how lava lamps work, explain why the wax floats and sinks in the lamp.
Typically wax has a higher density then water so it sinks, however in a lava lamp there is a bulb at the bottom that heats the wax up and causes the molecules in the wax to expand which increases its volume. When the volume of the wax increases the density decreases which causes it to float.

When measuring an irregular solid using liquid displacement what units do I use and how do I calculate them?
1mL=1cm^3
500
Explain how changing an objects mass and/or volume will change its density
The formula for density is D=M/V so if you change the mass or volume of an object the density will increase or decrease. For example if you increase an objects mass but the volume stays the same the density will increase because there will be more matter in the same amount of space. If the mass stays the same and the volume increases the density will decrease because the matter will be more spread out.
500
What is one way to figure out the three formulas for density, mass and volume?
Density Triangle or Algebraically

A little aluminum boat (mass of 14.50 g) has a volume of 450.00 cm3. The boat is place in a small pool of water and carefully filled with pennies. If each penny has a mass of 2.50 g, how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks?
174 pennies 2.5 x P + 14.5 = 450

An objects density is 350 kg/m^3 on earth. What would the objects density be on the moon?
The same because the mass and volume would remain the same.
