Why does air haveweight?
Because air has weight, mass, and density objects will either sink or float in it. Some balloons will float for example.
Why objects float or sink when placed on surface of water?
Because of the comparative density. If the objects density is greater than water it will sink, if less then it will float.
Objects float in water because water has an?
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
Why some things float and other things sink?
Because of the objects density.
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
Why do objects float in coke?
Because their density is less than the density of coke. And if that's not true of the object, then it sinks.
Why do some objects sink and some objects float?
It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume. This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.
Which things float on water and which sinks into it?
Objects whose aggregate density is less than the density of water float in it. Objects whose aggregate density is greater than the density of water sink in it.
