What else can I help you with?
Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
How does liquid affect the height of which some objects float or sink?
Floating and sinking is related to density - if something is more dense (i.e. has more mass per volume) than the fluid it will sink, and if it is less dense then it will float. This is why wood floats in water, and helium balloons float in air - helium is less dense than air and wood is less dense than water. Steel ships float because, although they are made of steel which is more dense than water, the air inside them is less dense than water so the overall effect is floating.
How can a large block of wax float on water even though it is more dense?
If it's in a block shape and it's floating on water,then guaranteed it's less dense than water.
What are 5 examples of floating and sinking?
Ice floats in water because it is less dense than water. A wooden boat floats on water because it is less dense than water. A balloon filled with helium gas floats in the air because it is less dense than the surrounding air. A cork floating in water floats because it is less dense than water. A rock sinks in water because it is more dense than water.
What is fluid on the top layer of milk?
Water. The denser fats fall out of solution and sink. This makes the lower section of milk more dense and leaves the less dense water floating on top.
How is density related to floating or sinkingin water?
water's density is defined as 1g/mL. if something is more dense then it will sink due to the fact that it weighs more per volume. if something is less dense then it will float because it weighs less per volume than water. Speaking in terms of atoms, if it is more dense than the molecules are closer together and can push the water molecules out of the way (so it goes to the bottom), but less dense the water molecules push against the less dense molecules causing them to rise.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
What are examples of practical applications for density?
An example of real life density is "ice floating on water." Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water. Things that are less dense float on top of things that are more dense because molecules in ice are further apart than molecules in water.
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
