If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float.
To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)

How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
What causes objects to float?
in relation to solids or liquids in liquids: Density. A lighter density compound/liquid will float in a heavier density liquid
Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
What happens if an objects density and a liquids density are equal?
Equilibrium. (It neither rises nor sinks.)
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
What 2 attributes must be measured to determine an objects density?
mass and volume
What liquids have a better buoyancy?
Liquids that have a greater density than water, will provide more buoyancy to objects floating in it. Salt water is more dense than fresh water, so objects will float higher in it.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
How do you determine density of object?
1). Measure the objects mass and volume. 2). Divide the object's mass by its volume. The quotient is the object's density.
Can gold float in a molten vat of lead?
No. Th density of lead is 11.36 g/cm3, the density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. Objects only float in liquids with a density greater than their own.
How do you find the density of regular shape objects?
Determine its mass on a balance. Determine its volume using water displacement. Divide the mass by the volume.
How do you find the density of an regular shape objects?
Determine its mass on a balance. Determine its volume using water displacement. Divide the mass by the volume.
