What determines if an object will sink or float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid. It will sink if its density is greater than that of the liquid. The buoyant force acting on the object opposes gravity and determines whether it will sink or float.
What determines whether objects float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
What determines whether it will float in water?
Whether your foot is on it or not.
How do you tell which liquid will float on top of the other?
This is found out by knowing the densities of the liquids in question. The liquid with the smaller density will always be on top, while the liquid with the higher density will be at the bottom.
Do gummy worms sink or float?
Gummy worms are denser than water, so they will sink when placed in a container of water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in a liquid. In this case, the gummy worms have a higher density than water, causing them to sink.
Why do eggs sink in water?
Eggs sink in water because they are denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in a liquid. Since eggs are denser than water, they sink when placed in it.
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
Do different sizes of fruit determine whether they will float in water?
no, what determines whether they will float or not is their density
What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
Will a marble float in water?
No, a marble will sink in water because it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
