Will a steel ball float in mercury if it's heated?
No, a steel ball will not float in mercury, even if it is heated. Mercury is much denser than steel, so the steel ball will sink in mercury regardless of its temperature.
Does Anything with air in it Float?
no , because if u fill a steel gas tank it probably will not float.
Will a tennis ball float or sink?
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
Why rubber ball without air sink and with air float?
A rubber ball without air sinks because it is denser than water, causing it to displace less water than its own weight. However, when the ball is filled with air, it becomes buoyant due to the air creating a positive buoyant force that is greater than the ball's weight, causing it to float.
Why will a helium balloon float in the air when a golf ball won't?
Both a helium balloon and a golf ball take up space that air would otherwise occupy if they were not there. The weight of a helium balloon is much less than the weight of the air that would otherwise fill its space, so the surrounding air holds it up. This is called buoyancy and is also the reason that a boat made of steel will float on water. On the other hand, the weight of a golf ball is much more than the weight of the air that would otherwise fill its space, so the surrounding air is unable to hold it up and it stays on the ground. In other words it is too heavy to float in the air.
Why a ball of steel sinks but boat made of steel floats?
The steel boat has more bouyancy because it is mostley filled with air as with the steel ball it is dence and heavy so it sinks
Does half of a tennis ball float?
Yes, half of a tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air-filled cavity inside the tennis ball helps it to float.
How much air pressure it takes to make a ball float?
None at all.
Why do ping pong balls fly?
the ball is the same as a tennis ball. it is made out of air on the inside so it will float in the air for a while and then will endventualuy fall.
How can a beach ball can float on water?
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
Why do soccer balls Float?
Soccer balls never really float but they do stay in the air for a short period of time. This is mainly due to the compressed air inside the a ball.
A hollow steel ball weighs 1 kilogram what must its volume be for it to float in water?
For an object to flat it must displace more water than it weighs. So a 1 kg hollow steel ball bust displace 1kg of water. 1 kg of water has a volume of 1 litre so the steel ball must have a volume greater than 1l. Note: 1lite = 1000cm^3
