What else can I help you with?
When you put a paperclip on water and then put one drop of soap why does it sink?
When you place a paperclip on water, the surface tension of the water keeps the paperclip from sinking. However, when you add a drop of soap, it disrupts the surface tension of the water, causing the paperclip to sink as the water is no longer able to hold it up.
What is the hypothesis for paperclip floats in water?
One hypothesis will have to do with the surface tension of water.
Does soap affect the ability of the paperclip to float?
Yes, soap can affect the ability of the paperclip to float because soap lowers the surface tension of water. When the surface tension is reduced, the paperclip may no longer be able to stay afloat and could sink.
Why does a paperclip float in water because of surface tension or weight displacement?
A paperclip can float on water due to surface tension, which is the cohesive force between water molecules that creates a "skin" on the surface. This surface tension allows the paperclip to rest on top of the water without sinking, despite its weight. The weight of the paperclip does displace some water, but it's the surface tension that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling it to float. If the paperclip were to be pushed beneath the surface, it would break the surface tension and sink.
What makes a sink drip?
Answr: Water
What makes you sink when walking on water?
density
Will a paperclip rust in saltwater?
yes, because the salt makes the water heavier, so the water would be even more density, so the paper clip would be less dense than salt water(I THINK) but it might not because of it's shape or texture
Why bodies do not sink in the salty water?
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.
Name three things that sink and why they sink?
Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.
What force makes a golf ball sink in water?
Gravity.
Why would a ball filled with sand would sink in water?
The sand puts weight on it and it makes in sink.
What makes an item to float or sink in water?
This depends on the density of this item: more denser than water-sink, less denser than water-float.
