'what does density have to do with the ability to float?
the ability to float with density is almost impossible
Why does a substance with more density float on top of a substance with more density?
the object with less density rises to the top of the object
What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
What is a main importance of density as a physical property?
Whether a substance will float or sink in another substance.
What property of matter causes make a substance sink or float?
density
'what does density have to do with the ability to float?
the ability to float with density is almost impossible
How does density effect bouyancy?
Buoyancy is the ability to float, so if the density is high, it'll hold up something. (see? FLOATING. BUOYANCY.)
Determines if an object will float or sink in a fluid?
Density. An object will float in a substance if its density is less than the density of the substance. The density of water is 1 kg /L or 1 g/ cm3. Anything with a density less than this will float.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
Why does a icebreg float?
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
Why does a substance with more density float on top of a substance with more density?
the object with less density rises to the top of the object
If matter has a density of less then one then that substance will?
Float
How can you make a substance with greater density greater than water float?
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
What is the ability of matter to float in a liquid or gas?
density
What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
What is the effect of density on the ability an object has to float?
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of an object. When the density of an object is high, it is heavier per unit volume. Thus when the density of an object is greater than that of water, it will sink in water. Conversely, when it is lower than that of water, it will float on water.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
