Why do some things float and why do other things sink?
The object which have more density than water it sinks and which have lower density than water it floats.
How you determine the density of a solid heavier than water?
t If it sinks it is higher densitiy, but if it floats it's lower density. If it hangs aroung the middle it's the same density!
When an object sinks its denser than water?
Yes. Water has density of 1 g/mL. If an obct has a density lower than that, it will sink. some objects, however, will float under water.
Does copper sink in water?
Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
Why does Syrup settles to bottom?
Sirup sinks in water because it is denser. Liquid of higher density always sinks in liquid of lower desity.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
Why do some things float and why do other things sink?
The object which have more density than water it sinks and which have lower density than water it floats.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
B/c the density of mercury is higher than that of glass, while the density of water is lower than that of water.
Which one has more density the one that floats or sinks?
sinks
How does density affect buoyancy?
Ignoring shapes (using cubes), density (mass/volume) greater than "water" means it sinks. The floating object displaces its weight of the buoyant "object" (water, etc.)when it floats, but displaces its volume when it sinks.
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
