What else can I help you with?
Would the float or sink?
An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is sitting in. If the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
What state of matter of an object of an object that stinks into a fluid compare to the density of the fluid?
If an object that sinks into a fluid has a lower density than the fluid, it would float. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, it would sink. The state of matter of the object does not determine whether it will float or sink - it's the density that determines the behavior.
When will an object float on a fluid's surface?
To be straight in answering,I would write that if that particular object has its density nearly equal to the density of fluid displaced by its submerged part then only the object will be likely to float in the fluid.
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
If the density of an object is 1, it will neither sink nor float in water. When the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid it is placed in, it will be neutrally buoyant and will remain suspended in the fluid at the same level.
When would an object float?
When its density is less than the fluid in which it is placed
What law determines an object will float or sink in a fluid?
An object will float in a fluid if it is less dense than that fluid, because the mass of that object displaces less of the fluid than is the volume of the object. An object denser than that fluid would continue to displace the fluid until it met something either solid or more dense.
What needs to be positive in order to float?
An object requires positive buoyancy in order to float, or the the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself. An example would be a person floating in the ocean, the person's body is less dense than the salt water, hence they float.
What do you call the ability to float?
The ability to float is called buoyancy. It is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object placed in the fluid, allowing it to stay afloat.
Would an object float if the density is 350 g and a volume is 95 cm squared?
To determine if an object will float, compare its density to the density of the fluid it will be placed in (usually water). An object with a density greater than that of water (1 g/cm^3) will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. In this case, with a density of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm^3, you would need to know the density of the fluid (e.g., water) to determine if it would float or sink.
If a boy weighed 500 n what upthrust would he need to float?
He would need an upthrust force equal to his weight of 500 N in order to float. Upthrust is the force exerted by a fluid (like water) that opposes the weight of an object placed in it. When the upthrust force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float.
What determines how well an object floats?
if it is lighter than the amount of liquid it displacesIf the density of the object is lower than the density of the liquid, then it will float. If the object is denser than the liquid, then it will sinkThe answer is just density lolAn object will float if its density is less than its environment. Or, another way, an object will float if it weighs less than the volume of the gas (or fluid) that it displaces.
How does buoyancy work?
Buoyancy is a force that allows an object to float in a fluid, like water or air. This force is created because the pressure at the bottom of an object is greater than at the top, pushing the object up. The weight of the object must be less than the weight of the fluid it displaces in order for it to float.
