Do objects of the same volume displace the same amount of water?

Yes, if all of the objects have the same amount of volume they will displace the same amount of water!


When objects float they displace an amount of water equal to their?

equal to their weight


How do you find the volume of an egg?

Fill a cup to the brim with water. Put egg in water (it should sink), capturing all of the overflow of water. Measure volume of water. This volume will match the egg's volume. Sinking objects displace volume, floating objects displace mass.


How do different sized and weight objects settle in water?

Objects which are less dense than water will float. Objects denser than water will float or sink depending on the volume of water that they displace and that will depend on their shape.


What is it called when objects displace as much water as they weigh?

buoyancyAn object that displaces its own weight in water is said to be "floating".


What objects float in gasoline?

objectsfloats on water, oil and kero depending on the objects density or the objects weight.


What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?

Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.


If you had two objects of the same size wood and lead. which would displace more water?

neither a sponge would


Why can't objects float on fresh water?

Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.


What is Prefix of placed?

Unplace, replace, displace.


An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?

The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.


How can you predict if something will sink or float?

An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
