Objects sink in water because they are heavy true of false?
False. Objects sink in water because they are more dense than water.
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more or less dense than water?
If its less it floats on the surface of the liquid. If its more it will sink to the bottom.
Do particles make objects denser?
Particles do make objects denser than they normally may be. For example, if you add particles of salt to water, the water will become more dense. Alternately, if you filter impurities out of water it will become less dense.
Why sugar cube floats on oil?
a solution of water and sugar has a greater density than plain water. Because the solution is more dense than plain water, objects of lower density than the solution will float
What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?
Objects that float in water are less dense than water; while objects that sink in water are more dense than water.
Is a pencil dencer then water?
no, a pencil will float therefore it is less dense than water(ticonderoga #2 pencil was used)no pencils were harmed in the execution of this experiment
What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?
Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.
How can you predict whether objects will float or sink?
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
How can you determine whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
Are objects that sink more dense than water?
Yes.
Why do ships made of steel float instead of of sinking since steel is dencer than water?
I's not sink because see water is less dense than the steel so the ship will not sink instead of floating.
What is dencer than water?
Many. One Example is a cork

What are the objects that can float on water?
Any object that is less dense than water will float.
What is dencer than motor oil?
Anything it floats on - water, for example.
Objects sink in water because they are heavy true of false?
False. Objects sink in water because they are more dense than water.
