How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
What both objects are made of the same material but the heavier object floats but the lighter object sinks?
If the object sinks or floats depends on mass or weight. The object can be made of the same material, but if the weight is not the same (say if it is heavery than water) it will sink.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Mass will determine how much water is displaced by something that floats. Volume will determine how much water is displaced by something that does not (that sinks).
Why some object float and other sinck in the water?
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
Why does an object sink in water?
If on object is more dense than water (1 g/ml) it sinks. If it is less it floats. If it is the same it goes up and down.
Would an object of 3.7 cm float why or why not?
Floats when it displaces its weight of water; sinks when it's displaced water weighs less than the object. Huh?
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
Why does poop floats?
Feces (the technical term) are less dense than water. If an object is less dense than water, it floats. If it is more dense than water, it sinks.
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
put them both in a tub of water and if one floats its not as dense as the other if it sinks its more dense
