Question

refer to the image below. which statement best describes the densities of the items in the container? the solid object is more dense than the liquids because its particles are more compact. the solid object is more dense than liquid a but less dense than liquid b. liquid b is the least dense of all the items in the container. the solid object is less dense than liquid a and more dense than liquid b.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density - buoyancy relationship

Objects float in less - dense fluids and sink in more - dense fluids.

Step2: Analyze the position of the solid object

The solid object floats on Liquid B and sinks in Liquid A. So, the solid object is more dense than Liquid A and less dense than Liquid B.

Answer:

The solid object is more dense than Liquid A but less dense than Liquid B.
