What else can I help you with?
Will 7.81 g of steel float on water?
No, 7.81 g of steel will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Steel has a higher density than water, so it will not displace enough water to float.
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
Will a steel bar float in water?
No, a solid steel bar will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Only objects with a lower density than water will float.
Does nickel float?
No, nickel does not float in water because it has a higher density than water. Any object with a higher density than water will sink.
Will silver float in Mercury?
Yes, silver would float in mercury because silver is less dense than mercury. This means that silver would displace an amount of mercury equal to its own weight, allowing it to float on top of the mercury.
Will something with a lower density float on something with a higher density?
A liquid with a higher density than 1g/cm3 (one gram per cubic centimeter) (the density of water) will sink in water.
Why do some item float higher on the water than other?
It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.
Why do thing float higher in salt water the?
Due to high density of sea water things float higher in sea water.
Does apatite float on water?
No, apatite does not float on water because it has a higher density than water. Apatite sinks in water due to its composition and density.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
If a substance floats in water, it is less dense than water. This means that its mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Substances with lower density will float on top of substances with higher density.
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
