Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
Why do needle sinks in water but ship floats?
Whether something sinks when it's placed on water is determined by the amount (weight) of water that it displaces. The needle, being small in size and relatively high in mass (relative to its size), displaces very little water when it is placed on the surface. The weight of the needle will be more than the weight of the water that it displaces and the needle will sink. The ship, though many times heavier than the needle, will displace alot more water than the needle. The ship will float if the weight of the displaced water is more than the weight of the ship.
Does resistivity depend on length and area of the cross section of the material?
No. Resistivity is a material constant, defined for a standard size of material. For another size of material, it can be calculated. Resistivity is the same for any piece of material; resistance can change.
How does the size of the ball on the plunger affect the amplitude of the waves?
how does the size of a ball on a plunger affect the amplitude of a wave
Does the size of a bouncy ball affect how high it bounces?
As long as they have the same density and mass, size will not affect it
Will a 1.3 cube float?
Whether or not it floats will depend on the material , not the size.
What are the factors that affect the corrosion of metal?
climate and size or type of material...
Why the larger object floated and the smaller object sank?
In general, whether an object sinks or floats doesn't depend on its size, but rather on its density. If it is denser than the liquid in which it is placed, it will sink; otherwise it will float.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
Why an iron nail sinks in water whereas a cork for the same size floats?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that cork floats on water because its cells are empty.Any object dropped into a liquid displaces that liquid. A floating object weighs the same as the liquid it displaces. An object that sinks, weighs more than the liquid it displaces, so the stone is heavier than the cork causing it to sink. and not just that, cork is a lot less dense than a stone is.
What are the three characteristics of a material that will affect its angle of repose?
Size, Shape , and Weight Your Welcome :)
What are four things that can affect a material's angle of repose?
the composition ,size ,weight and shape .
Explanation as to why a golf ball sinks and a ping pong ball floats if they are relatively the same size?
This has got to do with weight and density. A ping pong ball is extreemely light. A golf ball is heavy. If the golfball sinks, that mean that Water of the same volume weigh less. IE the golfball is heavier than water. Regards.
What is the maximum size and weight of a aircraft carrier or battleship or any sea vessel can weigh to still be able to float in the ocean?
There is no maximum theoretically. As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.
What is the standard size for a drainline for sinks?
1.5 in.
How is the size of the mineral grains affect by the rate at which molten rock material rock?
The slower the rate of cooling the larger the size of the crystals that can develop.
What size are mobile home kitchen sinks?
Most sinks that I've seen in mobiles are 32 x 20.
