Multiple Choice

Why is understanding density important in everyday life?

• Because it helps us understand why objects float or sink

• Because it determines the color of objects

• Because it affects the taste of food

• Because it changes the temperature of water

Select all statements that correctly describe the behavior of air-filled and helium-filled balloons.

• Air-filled balloons rise because they are less dense than air.

• Helium-filled balloons rise because they are less dense than air.

• Air-filled balloons sink slowly because they are slightly denser than air.

• Helium atoms are heavier than nitrogen/oxygen atoms.
