Foundations Practice 2

The diagrams below represent two solid objects, A and B, with different densities. What will happen when the objects are placed in a container of water (water temperature = 4°C)?

• Both objects will sink.

• Both objects will float.

• Object A will float, and object B will sink.

• Object B will float, and object A will sink.

If each side of the cube shown below has the same length as the measured side, what is the approximate volume of the cube?

• 10.65 cm³

• 4.84 cm³

• 2.20 cm³

• corundum

• galena

• hematite

• quartz
