How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?
The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.
What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?
An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
What will happen if an object that is the same density of water is placed in it?
Most likely, the object will be suspended, that is, stay in the middle of the water.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
What will happen when an object is placed in isoproply alcohol?
Some objects are dissolved in iso-propyl alcohol.
How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of objects placed in the liquid?
Yea
Why do some objects float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
Why do objects sink when placed in water?
Only objects having a density higher than the density of a liquid sink.
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
What will happen if the density of an object placed in a liquid if the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object?
If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object, the object will sink. This is because the liquid is denser and exerts a greater buoyant force on the object, causing it to sink until it reaches an equilibrium point where the buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
