S.G. of water = 1.0
Floating, S.G. < 1.0,
Submerging, S.G. > 1.0.
If the specific gravity of the object is greater than that of water, it will sink.
This specific gravity must be over 1.
Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.
it floats
Floats
it floats away
Gasoline floats on water. That is why water is not used on gasoline fires. The fire floats on the water and spreads rather than being smothered by the water.
If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
Any substance with a density less than water will float in it. Anything with a specific gravity less than 1 will float.
Beacause theres no gravity!
its gravity that floats more often
If the volume of liquid the object displaces weighs more than the object, the object will float. The principle is buoyancy or specific gravity.
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water
Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.
i dont know why it floats i think because its more soda in it and the can i lighter and coke is heavier
Less than 1.0, the density of water.
False.
Everything, including ball point pens, floats in space because there is no gravity acting upon it.
