Why does water density affect boats floating?
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
What influence will the size of the surface and the mass of a floating object have on the floating ability of the object?
The density is important; for floating an object must have a density under the water density (1 g/cm3).
Why oil floating in water?
Oil density of water is lower.
Does size affect sinking and floating?
No that is to do with density differences not size differences,
How does salt water effect floating?
The salt water has a greater density and the floating is easier.
How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?
Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
What force keeps ice floating in water?
the density
What is an example of a density?
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.
Does salt water affect floating or sinking?
Salt increases the density of water, thus makes it easier to float.I've always had troubles floating while swimming in fresh water, but the difference when swimming in the sea is quite noticeable.There are many notes of people doing experiments with floating eggs with salt water versus fresh water.
How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
What can affect an object floating?
Salt in the water
D the floating of cork in water what is the principle behin?
the density of the cork is lower than the density of the water- so it floats.
