ok so when the object hits the water, the water pushes up with the same amount of force (boyancy ) but if the object has a greater density than the water then the object has more force pushing down on the water and then it sinks. more dense=sink, less dense =float

What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
What is the formula for the density of a solid object?
Density= mass/volume
What is the density on fluid of an object sinking?
If an object sinks in a fluid then it has a density greater than the fluid. This assumes the object is solid and not shaped like a boat.
What will happen if a solid object immersed in a fluid weighs more than the volume of the fluid displaced by the solid?
Then the solid object has a greater density and will sink.
Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
What happens to a solid object when density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
What happens to a solid object with density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
What happends to a solid object with a density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
What is the formula for the density of a solid object?
Density= mass/volume
What could you do to an object to change its density?
Adding heat to the object if the object is a solid.
What is the matter of an object with a high density?
This is a solid.
The density of a solid object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume The dimension of density is?
[m][l]^-3
What happens to density when an object is frozen?
With the exception of water, the particles of an object move closer together and become a solid. Being closer together makes the density rise once it becomes frozen but the density won't rise if the temperature is lowered and the object is already frozen. When water freezes, the density lowers, making ice float.
Is the density in a solid object high?
yes it does because the higher the mass and volume are, the higher the density would be
