That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
float
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.
Solids are more dense than liquids. This is because of their atomic or molecular configuration. Atoms or molecules in solids are more closely arranged compared to atoms or molecules in liquids.
Gold, because of it's high specific gravity (19.3) will sink. Specific gravity is the indicator of how many times heavier than the same quantity of water.
I believe that this has to do with comparitive relative densities of a. the liquid under consideration b. the actual hydrometeor.
freezes
Diethyl ether..
the water sink is not solid and liquid
sink
Solid silver has a greater density than liquid silver which means that solid silver would sink.
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
It would sink, solids are more dense than liquids almost always. water is one exception.
Certainly. Think about something solid such as a stone, will that sink or float in a liquid like water it will sink so it is more dense
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Float or sink... in what? Look up the density of caesium, and the density of whatever liquid you want to place it in, and compare. The general rule is that a substance will sink if its density is greater than the liquid (or gas) you place it in.
If you place the object into the liquid it will sink.
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
