What is the hypothesis of make a paper clip float?
Distribution of the clip's mass and water's surface tension.
Objects that has a mass less than 1 kilogram?
What are three things less than a kilogram?
Can a magnet pick up a paper clip when both are under water?
yes
The capacity of a paper clip?
The capacity of a paper clip is milligrams positive
Why a razor blade and paper clip float in the water?
it is due to the surface tension of water. due to the inter molecular forces present in between the molecules of water, the surface of water behave as a stretched membrane. blade and paper clip do not exert enough force to pierce the surface of water. so they flot over the surface of water.
What can you say about the density of a paper clip versus the density of water?
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
How much is 1 gram in a paper clip?
Well...1 gram. Or, if you are talking about density, than the density of a paper clip is 8.03 g/cm3.
Why did the paper clip fall to the bottom of a bowl of water?
The paper clip is more dense than the water, and it will sink. Water does not have sufficient buoyancy to support it. As regards density, the metal in the paperclip has more mass per unit of volume than the water does.
What in the world is the density of a paper clip?
The density of a paper clip is: 7.8 g/cm3. Thanks for asking! Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday! I can't wait for Christmas!
Density of paper clip?
6.35 g/mL
What has greater density a grape or a paper clip?
Interesting question. Put the grape in water and I believe you will see it floats. It is lighter than water. Now, put a paper clip in water and you will see it sinks. So the paper clip must have a density greater than water. It has a higher density. The weight of the object does not matter. Density is weight divided by volume. You may also be wondering why some fruits float and others sink in water. Fruits contain water and sugar. This alone would make them slightly heavier than fresh tap water. However, in the skin of fruit, there are openings that contain air. Even a little air can compensate for the extra weight of the sugar. There is a second way to answer your question, you can look up the densities of aluminum (what a paper clip is made of) and water (which is approximately the density of the grape). Just enter aluminum and density into Google, and you will find the density of aluminum much higher than water (density ~ 1 gm/cc).
What is the density of a paper clip?
8.03 g/cm3 (i think)
Does a paperclip float in water?
Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.
What happens when you put paper clip into water?
no. because they are solid metal.
How do you find the volume of an aluminum paper clip?
This would be the same as finding the volume of a paper clip, See the related question below.

It is sand-I did the question
Is a paper clip less dense than water?
Put it in water and see what happens?
