How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
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.
How does density affect an object to float?
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
Does Fimo float?
No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
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
What objects sink or floats?
An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.
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.
Does ironwood float?
No, ironwood does not float. It is a dense and heavy type of wood that sinks in water.
Why do objects sink or float in water?
Objects float or sink in water based on their density. If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is denser, it will sink. This is because the buoyant force acting on the object upward counteracts the force of gravity pulling it down.
Why won't your candle float?
If it sinks in water, then it is more dense than water.
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
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
When an object is placed in a less dense liquid or gas, it will experience a buoyant force acting against gravity. If the object's density is greater than that of the surrounding medium, it will sink; if the object's density is less, it will float. The object will displace a volume of the medium equal to its own volume.
