What procedure would you use to find the density of the marbles?
You weigh it in some water and if it float its density is less than one and if it sink its over than one
Will an object with the density less than one float in water?
Yes. Pure water has a density of 1.0, so anything with a lower density will float. Also note that adding salt or other contaminants to the water will generally raise the density, so things that will just barely sink in fresh water may float in salt water.
What causes materials to sink and float in water?
Density is a physical property of all materials and represents how much mass the material has per unity of volume. If the density is higher than that of water, the material floats. Lower than it sinks.
Is earth floating on water?
no because its density is greater than one ( anything less than one, density wise would float ____________________ Actually, only Saturn "would float"; ie, has a density less than 1. Earth has a density of 5.5 or so, and if there were a big enough bathtub, would sink like the rock it is.
How dense must an object be to float?
By definition, 1 gram of water will occupy one cubic centimeter. If the object to be floated on water weighs less per cubic centimeter it will float, and if it weighs more it will sink. *For an object to float in a liquid, it must have a lower density than the liquid. For example water has a density of one kilogram per litre and ice has a density of 0.9 kg/L, so ice floats; lead has a density of about 8-9 kg/L, so it will float in mercury (density of somwhere between 15 and 20 kg/L; please correct if you have the data).
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
Will items with a density of greater than 1 sink or float when placed in water?
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
Will something with a lower density float on something with a higher density?
A liquid with a higher density than 1g/cm3 (one gram per cubic centimeter) (the density of water) will sink in water.
Will a tooth brush sink or float?
This depends on the density: if the density is greater than 1 g/cm3 (density of water) an object sink; if the density is lower the object float.I tested just now four tooth brushes: three sink, one float !
Can you use volume alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
If the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed?
If the density of an object which is equal to one(Which is also the density of the water), the object will neither sink nor float but it will be unstable, sometimes you will see the object sink then float. In other words the object is unstable in water....XD
Does everything that is density sink?
No because it depends on the density... over 1 (Density of water is one) your object will sink, under 1 object will float if it is 1 it will be suspended in water (A.k.a flink)
How can you use the destiny of an object to predict wheather it will float or sink in water?
The density of water is 1.00, so if the density of the object is greater than one, it will sink. If the density of the object is less than 1.00, then it will float. If the density of the object equals or is like 1.01, 1.02, 0.99, or 0.98, then it will be suspended.
What is a procedure for sink and float?
The one which flow has less density than the water (i.e. 1) means no screws will be there and they will be stuck with some adhesive.The one which sinks has more density than water and screws might be used in it because screws are generally made from iron whose density is more than that of water.
How can you tell an object will float or sink?
take the density. if the density id larger than one it will sink. if the density is not larger than one it will float.If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink. If it is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
What procedure would you use to find the density of the marbles?
You weigh it in some water and if it float its density is less than one and if it sink its over than one
How man applies the concept of density?
Man applies the concept of density in many ways. One way is by designing ships and submarines that will float on water. If the density of the object is less than the water's density, the object will float, but if its density is less than the density of water, it will sink.
