How can density be used to predict whether on object will float you sink in water?
Because that's how life is. If the density is greater than the density of water it will sink. If less, it will float.
Why can't I float in a pool?
You can't float in a pool because the density of your body is greater than the density of water, causing you to sink instead of float.
A boat will float higher in the Atlantic Ocean than in the Potomac River because ocean water has -?
Greater density
Why objects float or sink when placed on surface of water?
Objects float or sink on water based on their density compared to the density of water. If an object is less dense than water, it will float because the upward buoyant force is greater than the object's weight. If an object is more dense than water, it will sink because the downward force of gravity is greater than the upward buoyant force.
Will 1 by 5 kg float on water?
No, a 1 by 5 kg object will not float on water because its density is greater than that of water, causing it to sink. Objects float on water when their density is less than that of water.
Can Antimony float in water?
No, the density of antimony is more than six times greater than the density of water so it will sink in water.
Will a piece of iron float in water?
No, a piece of iron will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water.
Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?
An object with a density of 3.7 g/cm3 will sink in water (density of 1 g/cm3) because its density is greater than that of water. Objects float when their density is less than the density of the fluid they are placed in.
Why Does an aluminum can float on water but an aluminum pole does not?
Because the overall density of a can is less than the density of water, a solid aluminium pole has a density greater than water
Does bauxite float?
It depends if the density of bauxite is lower than the density of water which is 1.0 g/cm3
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an object has a lower density than water, it will float. If an object has a higher density than water, it will sink. This is because objects will displace an amount of water equal to their own weight, and if the weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float.
