Whether an object will sink or float in a fluid is determined by what?
Sinking or floating is determined by the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Density is mass/volume. When you place an object in a liquid, a certain amount of volume is displaced by the object. If that object puts more mass into the volume displaced than what the original mass was of the liquid in that volume was, then the object will sink. Therefore an object that is more dense than a liquid will sink.
Does the shape of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Yes, the shape of an object can affect whether it sinks or floats. Objects with a higher density than water will sink, regardless of shape. However, objects with lower density may float, and the shape can influence stability and displacement.
Do rotten plums sink or float?
if the rotten pumpkin has has a hole in it or is weakend the no it wont float answerd by morgan bloodworth
What is the name of plates that wont sink?
Buoyant plates, such as those made of foam or other lightweight materials, are designed not to sink in water. These plates can float on the surface of the water due to their low density and ability to displace enough water to offset their weight.
How can you make oil sink in water?
No, because oil is less dense than water so it would float it wont even stay in the middle because its not equivalently dense.
Why does cork sink in alcohol more than in water?
All you would have to do is change the density of the cork or the water. An easy to do this is to create air pockets in the water. This will make the water less dense and it wont be able to "sink" underneath the boat. In other words, the water/air mixture created by the bubbles, will be less dense than the boat. And everybody knows that the denser object sinks, so then the cork will sink. The cork will stay sunk as long as you are creating bubbles.
Why wont a paper boat float on normal water?
A paper boat may sink in normal water because paper is not waterproof and easily absorbs water, causing it to become saturated and heavy. Once the paper becomes heavy, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer float on the water's surface.
Will sawdust sink or float?
It depends on the species of wood. Most float but some types of ebony and lignum vitae have a density greater than water and will sink.
Does deer corn float on water?
yes
Why does a saturated solution cause things to float when identical object wont float in water?
water would have a much lower density than a solution with multiple things in it. fo example, oil is less dense than water, so it floats on top, but sand is more dense, so it sinks. depending on what is solution compared to the water, sand might float, or it is really low density oil might even sink. what i am saying is, it depends what the solution is. but the big picture is the difference in density between 2 objects. glad to help out
What happens to a floating object in a river when air pressure and density decreases Does it rise in floating level sink or stay the same?
If air pressure and density decrease, the buoyant force pushing up on the object will decrease as well, causing the object to sink. This is because the weight of the object becomes greater than the buoyant force acting on it, leading it to no longer float at the same level.
What makes Dead Sea unusual?
There is so much salt that no living creature can survive in it. Also, the high salinity level allows you to float! also that you can never sink unless...well u wont sink...
