What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
Why do objects sink when placed in water?
Only objects having a density higher than the density of a liquid sink.
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
What is the relationship between density and buoyancy for objects and substances?
The higher the density the lower the buoyancy.
Which liquid settles down ina mixture of liquids the higher density or lower density?
The liquid of higher density will settle to the bottom.
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.
How mass affects an objects density?
Mass divided by volume equals density. For the same volume, if the mass is more then the density is higher.
In sedimentation what order does the layers goes?
In sedimentation the thickest layer goes to the bottom,and the thinner they are the higher to the top it is layered.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
Why do some objects float or sink in water?
It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.
What is the main idea of density?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. It indicates how closely packed the particles are in a material. Objects with higher density have more mass packed into a smaller volume than objects with lower density.
