How is density of a floating object related to the density of the fluid it is floating in?
The "AVERAGE" Density of the entire floating object must be LESS than the density of the Fluid. The Average Density includes hollow spaces, etc. That is why a ship made of STEEL can float in water. It has a lot of EMPTY (air filled) space contained in its interior. Therefore, when the Steel Hull is immersed in the water it "DISPLACES" more water weight than the entire ship itself weighs.
Why does a rubber ducky float?
Ducks have hollow bones, lungs filled with air, and an uropygial gland which secretes an oil that keeps water off their feathers. Each of these aspects enables a duck to stay buoyant.
How are mass and volume of water related?
The mass and the volume of the water are directly proportional. When the volume of water increased, the mass of water increased too and vice versa. Because when we divide the mass and the volume of water, we get the constant value called density of water.
How can a ship float on the ocean if it ways like a ton or more?
The shape of the ship allows it to float. Imagine a ship that was just a big block of steel, If you put that steel block into water, it would sink because it is denser than water. Ships are built with a hollow shape. The amount of steel is the same, but the hollow shape decreases the boat's density. Water is denser than the hollow boat, so the boat floats. Shaping the block into a hollow form increases the volume occupied by the same mass, which results in a reduced overall density. The ship floats because it is less dense than water.
If soccer ball and a bowling ball are about the same size why does the bowling ball have more mass?
A soccer ball is hollow and filled with air, which has little density. A bowling ball is solid material of a much greater density. * Because bowling balls have a standard size, about 21.8 cm in diameter, bowling balls weighing less than 5.4 kg (12 lb) will float in water.
Does water affect density of wood?
yes water can increase the density of water as wood has the power to absorb water and so the density of water is drastically increased
Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water

When a submarine pumps water out of its floatation tanks its density decreases and it floats. why does its density decreases?
Because the tanks are filled with air afterwards. Air has a lower density than water.

How does salt affer floating?
Adding salt to water the density is increased.
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
