5. Aluminum is used to make airplanes. Cast iron is used to make weightlifting equipment. Explain
why the densities of these metals make them useful for these purposes?
6. What is the density of water? Remember for water 1g=1ml=1cm3
7. Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of a glass of water?
