What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
Why do heavy things float?
Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.
If an object has a density of less that 1 it will?
It will float in water, and in any other fluid whose density is greater than the object's density.
What are the factors that determine wether an object will sink or float?
The main factors that determine whether an object will sink or float are its density compared to the density of the fluid it is in. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater. Other factors that can affect whether an object will sink or float include its shape and the presence of any air pockets or empty spaces within the object.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
What is the relationship between an objects density and the liquid density and the tendency of an object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
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.
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
Why does a log float?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water. Or than any other liquid on which it is supposed to float.
Does nickel float?
No, nickel does not float in water because it has a higher density than water. Any object with a higher density than water will sink.
What will an object due if its density is less than one?
Any OBJECT with a DENSITY of LESS THAN ONE (1), will SINK in WATER.
How can you use density to determine whether an object will float or sink?
If any object has a density higher that 1 it will sink because water has a density of exactly 1. If the density is less than 1 it will float. Here is the formula for density...D=m/v or density equals mass over volume.
