Objects weigh less on the moon because?

Objects weigh less on the moon because it has less gravity compared to Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects on the moon experience less force pulling them down, resulting in lower weight.


Do rotten eggs float?

Yes, a rotten egg when placed in water will float as the egg's contents wiegh less than the amount of water it displaces.


What are floating objects?

Floating Objects are objects that are less densethan water.


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, so they displace enough water to counteract the force of gravity pulling them down. Objects that sink are denser than water and displace less water than their weight, causing them to be pulled down by gravity.


Is the force of gravity a strong on the moon as it is on earth?

No. That is why you wiegh less on the moon.


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 do objects behave when placed in water?

When objects are placed in water, they can sink, float, or stay suspended depending on their density and the density of the water. Objects that are denser than water will sink, objects that are less dense will float, and objects with a similar density may stay suspended in the water.

When an object is submerged will it weigh less or have less mass?

Objects under water seem to weigh less but they have the same mass as they would out of water.


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.


What objects float in water?

objects that are less dense float to the top.


What allows objects to float on water?

An object will float on water if it has less density than water.
