What happens to an object when it is placed in a more dense liquid or gas?
it floats
How does an object's density determines whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
How does an object's density determine whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
Why do some objects float when placed in a container filled with a liquid while other sink?
It all depends on the density of the object. If an object was less dense than water, then it will float. If an object is more dense than water, then it will sink.
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.
Why the Diet Coke floats?
i dont know why it floats i think because its more soda in it and the can i lighter and coke is heavier
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
What happens if you pour together liquids that the diffrrent dnesitices?
the less dense liquid will float on the denser liquid
What happens to the density of water as it changes from liquid to a gas?
Gas is much less dense than liquid.
What you force make things float?
Objects can be made to float by reducing their overall density so that they become less dense than the fluid they are placed in. This can be done by using materials that are less dense than the fluid, such as foam or inflatable objects. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, so if the object weighs less than the fluid it displaces, it will float.
One object is floating at the top of a liquid another is sitting at the bottom which one of the two objects is the LEAST dense?
The one on the top is the least dense.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
