Golf Ball Density

Satisfactory Essays

Due to the density of the Dead Sea Water, Ocean Water, and DI Water being lower the the calculated density of the golf ball it is hypothesized that the golf ball will sink in all three water samples. This hypothesis was reach based on the ranged of the water sample desity being from .8452 g/mL to 1.005 g/mL while the density of the golf ball is 3.779 g/ mL.After completing the experiment the hypothesis was found to be incorrect. The experiment resulted in the golf ball sinking in two water samples and floating in one water sample. The two most translucent water samples, Ocean Water and DI Water, with densities of .8585 g/mL and .8452 g/ mL were the water samples the golf ball sunk in. The golf ball floated in the least translucent water
