Is the buoyant force of water on lead greater than that on iron?

That depends on the amounts, of course - what exactly you are comparing. The buoyant force depends on the volume. For a certain volume of lead, there will be the same buoyant force as for the same volume of iron.
On the other hand, since lead has a greater density, the buoyant force on a certain amount of MASS of lead will be less, compared to iron, since the same mass of lead will use up less volume.

Mercury insert a bigger buoyant force to a fully submerged wood?
That is true. Because buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid when a body gets submerged in the medium of liquid. In case of mercury the relative density of mercury is 13.6 compared to that of water. A wood when placed in water, that would float due to greater buoyant force. If it is so, then you imagine about the buoyant force in case of submerging a wood in mercury. Wood having greater volume would expel that much volume of mercury. Hence the weight of the equally displaced mercury will be immense and so the result. Usually iron nails would float on mercury.
Why does iron ship floats in water?
Because the weight of the water that they displace is greater than the weight of the ship.
Water requires more energy than an equal mass of iron for its temperature to increase by a given amount because water has a greater?
Water has a greater specific heat capacity.
Suppose two blocks of identical shape and size were placed in water Block A is made of wood and block B is made of iron How would the buoyant force on these two objects compare?
Mass is the measure of inertia .sliding friction depend on mass. so their ratio of mass will be 1:5
Which force act from distance and pull iron object?
That sounds like the magnetic force. Gravity, too, but that will pull anything, not just iron.

Why clip can float on water?
Assuming the paper clip to be made of iron or aluminum To understand this you will need to study buoyancy and stuff... let me explain buoyancy in a nutshell, buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid( gas or liquid) on any object partially or fully submerged in it. for example, when you try pushing a plastic beaker in a tumbler of water, you would have definitely felt a push this is buoyant force. buoyant force = volume of object immersed * density of the fluid * g. As a paper clip possesses a greater volume it experiences a greater amount of buoyancy which keeps it afloat. however a nail which has a comparable lesser volume sinks. hope it helps
Why does a ship made of iron and steel do not sink in sea but the same amount in the form of sheet would sink?
The ship is designed to be buoyant in the water. Buoyancy works when the water displaced by the object becomes equal to the force it is putting on the water
Is it true that the buoyant forces on two different sized cubes made of pure iron will be the same?
No they will not be the same. Buoyant force is the weight of liquid displaced and always acts upwards. As the size differs the quantity of liquid displaced will differ and hence the buoyant force would surely differ.
The density of iron is about how many times greater than water?
iron is 7.9 times greater than water
How buant is iron?
Iron is almost 8 times heavier than water so it is not buoyant at all. Ships float because they are just a shell and can displace a large amount of water.
Can a nail float in water?
The nail sinks in water because the gravitational force attracts it downward toward the earth, there is an upthrust of water on the nail which pushes it upwards but, the downward force acting on the nail is greater that the upward force. Hence, the nail sinks in water. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks. The cork floats while nail sinks this happens because of the difference in their densities. The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume. The density of the cork is less than the density of water. This mean the upthrust of the cork is greater than the weight of the cork. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks.
Why iron nail sinks in water?
its density is greater than water, so it sinks.
Why does iron ship floats in water?
Because the weight of the water that they displace is greater than the weight of the ship.
Water requires more energy than an equal mass of iron for its temperature to increase by a given amount because water has a greater?
Water has a greater specific heat capacity.
What properties applies to aluminum and not iron?
Aluminium is paramagnetic, iron is ferromagnetic Aluminium has a low density, iron is more dense Aluminium is not corroded in water, iron is easily corroded The hardness of aluminium is lower The price of aluminium is greater The melting point of iron is significantly greater The thermal and electrical conductivity of aluminium are more important Iron has a greater chemical reactivity ................................................................... etc.
