Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?
sink
How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
Dependent variable on a float or sink experiment?
In a float and sink experiment, the density of the liquid is considered a dependent variable. When the density is low, the solid may sink more easily.
If you placed a solid into a liquid what would usually happen?
The Archimedean Principle takes over. The weight of a body immersed in a fluis is equal to the weight of the fluid disoplaced. A solid will either float or sink , but it displaced the fluid. Sometimes the solid may absord the fluid, but there is still a displacement of fluid.
Can a solid float on a liquid?
This depends on the type of liquid and type of object. A different density of either will affect the buoyancy of an object. For example, wood is less dense than water, so it floats on top. However, if there is a liquid less dense than wood, then the wood will sink in it.
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Why do you sink in water?
the water sink is not solid and liquid

What is denser liquid silver or solid silver?
Solid silver has a greater density than liquid silver which means that solid silver would sink.

If you place a piece of solid silver into a container with liquid silver would it float or sink and WHY?
It would sink, solids are more dense than liquids almost always. water is one exception.
Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?
Certainly. Think about something solid such as a stone, will that sink or float in a liquid like water it will sink so it is more dense
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Does casium float or sink?
Float or sink... in what? Look up the density of caesium, and the density of whatever liquid you want to place it in, and compare. The general rule is that a substance will sink if its density is greater than the liquid (or gas) you place it in.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
What will happen if an object's density is greater then a liquid's density?
If you place the object into the liquid it will sink.
How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.
