it depends on a lot of things like what the object is its weight if is has holes what its made of the density of the water the air the pressure and if the thing is floating in calm water or rippling water well in other words it depends by the way i am 10 years old and in fifth grade
What else can I help you with?
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
Which object will sink in simple water and float in salty water?
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
What determines whether objects float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
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.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.
Would an object with a density of 0.85g per ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
Float - The density of water is 1.0, anything with a density less than this will float in water.
What will an object less dense then water do when placed in water float or sink?
float
What affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.
Will the object sink or float in water?
Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink. Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water. ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
How could you tell if an object would sink in water?
if it ways less then 1 it will float
