What else can I help you with?
Do heavy objects sink while light objects float?
Not necessarily. Objects sink or float based on their density relative to the density of the fluid they are placed in. In general, dense objects tend to sink while less dense objects tend to float, but shape, size, and other factors can also play a role.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sink in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
What objects will float sink then float?
A submarine
Does volume alone determine whether an objects will float or sink?
No, an object's density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines if it will float or sink. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and sink if its density is greater. Volume can influence buoyancy, but it is not the sole factor.
Why some things float and other things sink?
Because of the objects density.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
The objects ability to float depends on its what?
The object's ability to float depends on its density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in, such as water. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
Can you use mass alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, you cannot use mass alone to predict whether an object will sink or float. The density of the object relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in also plays a crucial role in determining whether an object will sink or float. Objects with a density greater than the fluid will sink, while objects with a density less than the fluid will float.
Do all objects float or sink?
yes
Do all objects float?
No, some sink.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
What objects both sink and float?
things that have holes
