Apiece of wood that measures 3.0 cm by 6.0 cm has a mass of 80.0 grams. what is the density of the wood. would it float?

1.111 g/cm³- Will not float

Explanation:

But; Volume = length × width × height

Volume of the wood = 3.0 cm × 4.0 cm × 6.0 cm

                                  = 72 cm³

Therefore;

Density = 80.0 g ÷ 72 cm³

           = 1.111 g/cm³

The density of the piece of the wood is 1.111 g/cm³ and will therefore, will NOT float  since it has a higher density than water.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
