Which is more brittle plasticine or glass?
Glass is more brittle than plasticine. Plasticine is a soft, flexible material that can be easily manipulated and shaped, whereas glass is a hard, rigid material that shatters into sharp pieces when broken.
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
Why plasticine sinks in water?
Plasticine sinks in water because it is denser than water. The material used to make plasticine is heavier than water molecules, so it displaces water and sinks to the bottom.
Are there more than three states of matter?
Yes, plasma is considered a state of matter.
Why can a plasticine in a shape of a boat can float?
Plasticine is less dense than water, so it displaces an amount of water that is equal to or greater than its weight. This buoyant force keeps the plasticine boat afloat on the water's surface.
Does plasticine sink in water?
No, plasticine typically floats in water due to its low density. The air trapped within the plasticine makes it less dense than water, causing it to remain on the water's surface rather than sinking.
What is the largest state in the world?
There is more gas as a state of matter than in any other state in the universe
What are the forces on the plasticine when it is floating?
When plasticine is floating in water, the forces acting on it are gravity pulling it downward and buoyancy pushing it upward. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the plasticine, keeping it afloat.
Does plasticine floating have to do with water displacement?
Yes, plasticine floating is related to water displacement. When plasticine floats on water, it is displacing an amount of water equal to its own weight, in accordance with Archimedes' principle. The buoyant force acting on the plasticine is greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Who invented plasticine?
A man named William Harbutt invented plasticine in the 19th century when the sculpteurs wanted something easier to handle than clay.
What state of matter is most abundant in space?
Plasma. It makes up more than 99% of visible matter in the universe, and most of the invisible matter.
Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?
gas expand more than liquid and liquid expand more than solid.
