Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
Why objects floats on water?
Objects float on water due to the principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. If the object's density is less than that of water, it will float; if it's greater, it will sink. The upward buoyant force from the water counteracts the downward force of gravity on the object, allowing it to remain on the surface. This balance of forces determines whether an object sinks or floats.
How do you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.
What is the property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water?
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."
Does an object that floats displace water?
Yes. A floating object displaces its own mass in water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
What floats on or near the surface of the water?
PLANKTON
Why water hyacinth floats on water surface?
a green liquid
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the objects that underwater?
Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
Why wood floats on water?
Wood floats on water because it is less dense than water. When an object is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, it will float. The air pockets within the wood contribute to its buoyancy, keeping it afloat on the water's surface.
