Determines wether an object will sink or float in a fluid?
The object's density.If less than the density of the fluid, the object floats.If more than the density of the fluid, the object sinks.
What determines if an object will sink or float in water?
If an object's density (how uch mass/molecules/atoms it has in any given volume) is more than that of water, than it sinks; less, then it floats.
An object that sinks into a fluid is?
As an object sinks in a fluid the buoyant force on it would remain the same.
Which property of an object will never affect whether the object sinks or floats?
Color
How much water is pushed aside when an object sinks?
it depends on the volume of the object
What determines whether an object sinks or float?
density!
What is the definition of bouyancy?
Bouyancy determines whether an object sinks or floats.
Determines wether an object will sink or float in a fluid?
The object's density.If less than the density of the fluid, the object floats.If more than the density of the fluid, the object sinks.
How does an object's density determines whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
What determines if an object will sink or float in water?
If an object's density (how uch mass/molecules/atoms it has in any given volume) is more than that of water, than it sinks; less, then it floats.
If an object flats in the water will its flats in oil?
yes
Is an objects density determines whether it floats or sinks in water?
yes it does. try to sink a cork. it doesn't sink but on the other hand a iron nail does.the higher the mass the more the density and so the object sinks.
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
An object that sinks into a fluid is?
As an object sinks in a fluid the buoyant force on it would remain the same.
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".
Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
What determains if an object floats or sinks?
The Density.
