Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks.
Density = Mass per unit Volume
What else can I help you with?
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
Why does some mater float while others do not float at all?
Materials float or sink depending on their density. If an object is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object helps determine whether it will float or sink.
Why do some green olives float and some not?
Some olives float while others sink is due to the amount of brine they take on during the curing process.
Why some things float but others sink?
The buoyancy of an object determines if it will float or sink. Objects with a density less than that of the fluid they are placed in will float, while objects with greater density will sink. Additionally, the shape and size of an object can also affect whether it floats or sinks.
Will a living person sink in water?
It depends, some people are naturally buoyant, others sink. Normally if you have a lung full of air you will naturally float and if you breath out you will sink.
Why do some objects float and others do not?
because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink
Does crystal float?
It depends on the type of crystal. Some crystals have a density higher than water and will sink, while others have a lower density and will float.
Why do some things flaot while others sink?
Some things float or sink based on their density. Objects that are less dense than the liquid they are placed in will float, while those that are more dense will sink. Additionally, the shape and size of an object can also affect whether it floats or sinks.
How and why do some things float and others sink?
Objects float when the weight of the water they displace is greater than their own weight, creating an upward buoyant force. Objects sink when their weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on them, causing them to descend in the water. The density and shape of an object determine whether it will float or sink.
Do all objects float?
No, some sink.
What are some things that can float and sink?
ice
Can everything float in the ocean?
no because some things are denser then others and might sink for ex:Rock,shoe,cookin pan and ecc.
