How can you determine if an object will sink or float based on density?
An object will sink or float based on its density relative to the density of the fluid it's in. If the object's density is greater than that of the fluid, it will sink; if it's less, it will float. This principle is based on Archimedes' principle, which states that any object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Therefore, comparing the densities allows you to predict the object's behavior in the fluid.
How do you determine the buoyancy of an object?
Any object wholly or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal in magnitude to the mass of the fluid displaced by that object. This is known as Archimedes' Principle. Archimedes also stated that for an object floating on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.
Why things sink into water any why not?
An object will sink if it has a greater density than water. In this case, the weight of the water displaced by the object is less than the weight of the object.
Does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object depend on the weight of the object or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
The buoyant force on any object in a fluid ... whether partially or fully submerged ... isequal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. That's related to the object'svolume, and has nothing to do with its weight.
What principle was Archimedes famous for?
Archimedes principle, named after the Greek mathematician and astronomer, states that any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In other words, the volume of fluid that is displaced when an object is placed in that fluid is the volume of the object itself.
What force is the upward force exerted on any object in a fluid?
The force is called buoyant force and it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
What is achimedes principle?
Archimedes principle states that any immersed body in a fluid will experience a buoyant force which is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by it and always acts upwards through the centroid of displaced volume. Note that if the object weight less than the wieght of water it displaces, it will float. If it is heavier than the weight of water it displaces, it will sink but its apparent weight in water will be its in-air weight minus the weight of the water it displaces.
Achimedes ' principle?

If it is heavier than the weight of water it displaces, it will sink but its apparent weight in water will be its in-air weight minus the weight of the water it displaces.
If an object is less dense than the liquid it is put into it will?
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
What are the factors that determine wether an object will sink or float?
The main factors that determine whether an object will sink or float are its density compared to the density of the fluid it is in. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater. Other factors that can affect whether an object will sink or float include its shape and the presence of any air pockets or empty spaces within the object.
What makes a ship float on sea when moving?
Buoyancy and displacement, Archimides' Principle: "Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object"
Is an upward force exerted by a fluid on any object in the fluid?
Yes. Even objects whose density is greater then the fluid's.
