Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?
no
How can you use density to see if an object can float?
Usually, an object can float if it has a lower density than the liquid it is in.
Does an object's ability to float depend on its density?
Yes, it does depend on the object's density; it depends on the liquid's density, too. An object with a lower density than the liquid it is in will float, while an object with a heavier density than the liquid will sink.
How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
What will the density of any object be if they want that object you to float?
An object will float in water if its density is lower than water which means that for an object to float, its density needs to be less than ~1 gram/centimeter^3,
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 is density related to floatation?
If an object has lower density than the fluid then it will float. If it has higher density then it will sink.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
Does paraffin oil float on water?
depends on the type of wax. Beeswax candels should float because their density is slightly less than that of water.
When does an object have positive buoyancy?
A body has positive buoyancy when its density is lower than the density of the fluid the body is in.
What is the relationship with a floating object and density?
The density of an object is related to the density of the fluid it is in because if the density of the object is less than the fluid than it will float. If this density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid it will sink to the bottom.
