What else can I help you with?
What determines whether an object sinks or float?
density!
Does a denser object sink or float?
An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
If an object float in water is it more dense than an object that sinks?
other way around, buddy =)
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
What is the definition of bouyancy?
Bouyancy determines whether an object sinks or floats.
If an object sinks in water its density is less than that of water?
Yes, that's correct. If an object has a density lower than that of water, it will float. If it sinks, then its density is greater than that of water.
Does the weight of an object affect whether it sinks or float?
Yes, the weight of an object affects whether it sinks or floats in a fluid. An object will sink if its weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to displace an amount of fluid equal to its weight. Conversely, if the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, it will float.
When is a float no longer a float?
When it sinks.
Why do some objects float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
What is an opposite of float?
The opposite of float is sink. When an object sinks, it moves downward in a fluid or liquid due to gravity until it reaches the bottom.
Why do rocks sink and rubber balls float in a swimming pool?
Whether an object sinks or floats depends on the objects buyoncy. If an object has a higher buoyancy then water it will generally sink, and less it will float.
