sam threw an object into his backyard pool. the object will float if
a. has more volume than water

b. is more dense than the water

c. has less volume than the water

d. is less dense than the water

Volume doesn't matter in this equation, as air will almost always float on water no matter the volume. So A and C are incorrect. The the object is more dense than water, it will sink because it has enough density to push through the water. But if it is less dense, then the water has enough force to hold it in place because the downward force of the object is less than the force of the water. The correct answer is D.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
