Do hydrometers float higher in liquids that are more dense or less dense?
An object floats when it displaces a volume of fluid that is equal to its total weight. The more dense (heavier per volume) the fluid is, the less the volume is that must be displaced to equal the weight of the object that floats in it.Therefore an object floats higher (is less submerged) in a denser fluid.
What will happen to the object that is denser and less dense in water when immersed in water?
If it is less dense, it will float If it is denser, it will sink.
How do you find density of an object in water?
If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.
If an object floats in water what can you tell about its density?
You can tell that it is less dense than water which has a density of 1 cc
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
It depends on the density of the liquid the object is immersed in and also the density of the object itself. If the liquid is more dense then the object, it will float.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
If an object floats does that mean it is dence?
If an object floats it is less dense than the substance it's floating in.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a more dense liquid or gas?
it floats
Do hydrometers float higher in liquids that are more dense or less dense?
An object floats when it displaces a volume of fluid that is equal to its total weight. The more dense (heavier per volume) the fluid is, the less the volume is that must be displaced to equal the weight of the object that floats in it.Therefore an object floats higher (is less submerged) in a denser fluid.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
What object floats partially in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
How do we decide if an object floats in water using density?
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
Why do some float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
How does an object's density determines whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
