Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. only one container holds water. the other contains a liquid that has greater density than water. how could you safely identify the container holding the water?

Explanation:

Start from the density formula: density = mass / volume.

Since the two cups are of the same size and are filled to the brim, you know that the volumes of the two clear liquids are equal.

Then, being the volume a constant in the formula of density, the liquid that has greater density will have a higher mass.

So, when you weigh both containers, the one with the higher mass is containing the liquid with the greater density and the other one, with the lighter mass, is holding the water.

did you find the answer?

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
