Does a liquid sink when it's hotter than the liquid around it?
No, it is inverse.
Will a liquid sink when its hotter than the liquid around it?
No, usually it will rise, since the density of most liquids will decrease as it is heated up.
Why do heavy things sink?
Not all heavy things sink. Things that are more dense than the liquid around them will sink.
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.
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.
Which is hotter a gas or liquid of the same substance?
As in, the liquid is just hot, and there's nothing heating it up or anything, right? Well, I would have to say, the highest area of the container (assuming that there is a container) holding the liquid is the hottest. You've heard of convection, right? Where hotter liquids and gases rise up due to lighter density, and colder liquids and gases sink down due to heavier density. Same thing. Different parts of the liquid is assumingly at different temperatures, even if the difference is tiny. Any liquid that the slightly hotter than the rest will rise up to the surface. If it cools, then it will sink down, and any other liquid that is almost just as hot will rise up to take the sinking cold liquid's place. But of course, eventually, the liquid will cool to temperature of the surroundings... I hope that answered the question.
A rock will sink because it is heavier than..?
A rock will sink because it is more dense than the liquid into which it is placed.
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
What objects that sink in water?
the objects whose density is more than that of fluid sink in the liquid
Why do object flout or sink?
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
