What do you call mass of ice that floats in the ocean?
icebergs
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Mass will determine how much water is displaced by something that floats. Volume will determine how much water is displaced by something that does not (that sinks).
How do you count the density of something?
to count the density of something you have to divide the mass of the object by its volume. ie.mass/volumeu can divide the mass of the object by its volume or see if it floats or sinksp = m/v
What do you call a particle of light with zero mass which carries a quantum of energy?
I call it a 'photon'.By the way, the photon has zero rest mass, but when it travels at the speed of light ...which it always does ... it has some mass.
Why does vetcable oil float on water?
Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.
What do you call mass of ice that floats in the ocean?
icebergs
Whast is the mass number of carbon dioxide?
Carbon is a metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 12.
What is a big mass of ice that floats in water?
An iceberg
What does the mass have to be to sink and float?
Mass less than 1 floats. Mas greater than 1 sinks.
What seaweed mass floats in Atlantic Ocean?
Because you dont know11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
How do you indirectly measure mass?
If the object floats you can calculate its mass by the amount of water it displaces and its size. If it doesn't float i am not sure.
What is the law of floatation?
It states that a floating body diplaces equal mass of liquid to it's own mass on the fluid it floats on.
How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Well usually, the bigger the volume, the better it floats. But mostly, it matters about how much mass an object contains.
Does mass determine an object will float or sink?
No. A toothpick and a tiny stone both have small mass, but one floats and the other sinks. A passenger ferry and a large boulder both have large mass, but one floats and the other sinks. It's not the mass that determines whether the object will float. It's the ratio of its mass to its volume ... the number known as the object's "density".
How is it that a boat floats and a paperclip sinks when the paperclip has less mass?
the boat has its mass spread out evenly while a paperclip is like twisted
When aship floats on water?
When vessel floats on a liquid, then it displaces a volume of that liquid, whose mass equals the mass of the vessel. If our vessel is hollow, as a ship or a bowl would be, then there is available some of the volume for the carrying of a load. Archimedes is attributed with this discovery.
The reason a ship floats is because?
The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.
