What makes certain substances float and others sink?
Substances with a density (mass per unit volume) greaterthan a liquid will sink in the liquid; if the object has a lower density it will float.
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
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
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.
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.
How did Bourne believe that an object could be made to rise and sink at will?
Bourne believed that an object would float or sink at will as long as he could manipulate the effect's of buoyancy which control and object to sink or float.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in the water?
the buoyant force acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity, so it makes the object feel lighter
What affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
What determines if an abject will float or sinkin water?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float.
