this is because Mercury is much denser than water . this means that there is more of it in a given amount of space then there is water in the same amount of space
it depends,if the block sinks weight of the block is larger if the block floats with some part inside then weight=buoyancy if it floats buoyancy is larger
Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
Ice.
if its heavier than water it sinks. lighter floats
the effect that buoyancy has on items is floating, if the particular item floats it is positively buoyant, if it sinks it is negatively buoyant, if it neither floats or sinks it is neutrally buoyant. hope this helps!!
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
it depends,if the block sinks weight of the block is larger if the block floats with some part inside then weight=buoyancy if it floats buoyancy is larger
Thumb tack sinks in water and floats in mercury.
sinks
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.

Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
The Density.
Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
A submarine sinks as it fills its' ballast tanks with water. Then it uses pressurized air to empty them and float again.
The cause is the difference in density; the density of water is 1 g/cm3 and for mercury is 13,5 g/cm3.
A peeled orange floats A not peeled orange sinks
