Question

question 8 (1 point) study the diagram below what information can you observe lamp oil rubbing alcohol vegetable oil water dish soap milk 100% maple syrup corn syrup honey ping pong ball soda cap beads cherry tomato die popcorn kernel bolt a the density of the cherry tomato is more than the density of the popcorn kernel b the density of the bolt is less than the density of the ping pong ball c the lamp oil is more dense than the honey d the corn syrup and the popcorn kernel have the same density

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density - buoyancy relationship

Objects with lower density float on substances with higher density.

Step2: Analyze option a

The cherry tomato is above the popcorn kernel. So the cherry tomato has a lower density than the popcorn kernel. Option a is incorrect.

Step3: Analyze option b

The bolt sinks to the bottom and the ping - pong ball floats at the top. So the density of the bolt is much higher than the density of the ping - pong ball. Option b is incorrect.

Step4: Analyze option c

Lamp oil is at the top and honey is at the bottom. So lamp oil has a lower density than honey. Option c is incorrect.

Step5: Analyze option d

The popcorn kernel is suspended in the corn syrup. When an object is suspended in a liquid, it means the object and the liquid have the same density. Option d is correct.

Answer:

d. The corn syrup and the popcorn kernel have the same density
