What else can I help you with?
The tendency for an object to sink or float has to do with the object's density true or false?
True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.
What is the tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid?
The tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid is determined by the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense, it will sink.
Does the tendency for an object to sink or float have to do with the object's density?
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
How do you think the amount of a material affects its tendency to sink or float?
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.
What are characteristics of buoyancy?
Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid. It depends on the volume and density of the object and the fluid it is in. Objects will sink if their density is greater than the fluid and will float if their density is less than the fluid.
Does volume alone determine if a object can float or sink?
No, volume alone does not determine if an object can float or sink. It depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink.
What two things help in determining if an object will float of sink?
You can tell if objects will float or sink byHow buoyant the object isHow dense the object is
The tendency of an object to float is called?
bouancy
What The tendency of an object to float is called?
buoyancy
Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
Would the float or sink?
An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is sitting in. If the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
What determines whether an object will sink or float in a fuild?
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.
