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 happens if you mix together liquids that have different densities?
The liquid with the higher density will stay down while the one with the lower density will rise up, thus stratifying the liquids into different layers.
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
What properties of the object in the wave toy allow it to floating in between the two layers of liquid?
It has more density than one of the liquids but less than the other.
What things have density?
The liquid have 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.
How can liquid be separated by density?
The liquids are allowed to separate into layers
How do Suspensions relate to mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
What happens if you mix liquid that have different densities?
The liquid with the higher density will stay down while the one with the lower density will rise up, thus stratifying the liquids into different layers.
How does Archimedes principle relate to density?
Archimedes principal states: 'An object immersed in a liquid will experience a buoyancy force equal to the mass of the liquid displaced by the object.' This can determine the density of any object.
Liquids that do not mix form into layers when they have densities?
When the liquid on top is less dense than the one underneath it stays on top. If the liquid on top is more dense it will go through to the bottom. density = mass/volume.
How can you make layers of water float on each other?
The best way would be to change the state of the water. In other words, have ice floating in liquid water, while steam is above that.
Three liquids with different are dumped into a glass What do you expect to see?
They form individual layers depending on their densities...the liquids with lighter density floats on liquid with heavier density......
What happens if you mix together liquids that have different densities?
The liquid with the higher density will stay down while the one with the lower density will rise up, thus stratifying the liquids into different layers.
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
Comparing the density of a liquid to the density of water is?
This is the determination of the specific density (the ratio liquid density/water density).
Why is the earth in layers?
Its in layers because of the density of the compounds in the earth
