What else can I help you with?
When and why some objects float just beneath the surface of water and also is there a limit at which depth they can continue to float underwater?
If the object density is higher than water, it will sink.
What type of objects floats on the surface of water?
Objects that float on water are less dense than water. Objects/liquid will arrange themselves from the highest density in the lowest layers to lowest density in the upper layers of a liquid (like water) However, buoyant forces can keep an object floating on the surface of water too. If the force of buoyancy is equal to the force of gravity, the object will not sink beneath the surface of the water.
Why might an object float in water?
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.
What is a wet fly?
Wet flies do not float long on the surface of the water, and are worked beneath the surface for trout and other species.
What is happens to an object when placed in water if the density is below one?
If an object with a density below one is placed in water, it will float. This is because the density of the object is less than that of water, causing it to be buoyant and float on the surface.
Which object will float the best?
An object that is less dense than water will float the best. The shape and size of the object can also affect how well it will float. Objects that are designed to displace a large amount of water will float better than objects with smaller surface areas.
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.
What happens to a solid object when density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
What happens to a solid object with density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
What happen to a solid object with a density that is less than water when its place in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
Why don't dolphins float?
Dolphins do float, to an extent. They float directly beneath the surface of the water when resting. Floating is easy for them because of their thick layer of blubber that also helps to keep them warm.
What causes an object or person to float in water?
The cause of this phenomenon is buoyancy. When the weight of an object is equally distributed according to its' mass over the water, the object is allowed to float on the surface. For example, a human laying on his/her back will easily float atop the water, however even a much lighter, misshapen rock will not.
