How do you Turn a non magnetized object into a magnet?
With a magnet. F**king miracles.
When mass is placed in water displacement what happens?
Question - What is the relationship between the amount of water and object displaces and the weight of the object? Who discovered this theory? This is called the law of buoyancy, discovered by Archimedes, and basically says: any material or object immersed in a fluid will tend to rise through the fluid if the fluid density is greater than the material density. The force associated with buoyancy is the difference between the weight of the displaced fluid and the weight of the immersed material. Density is the amount of and object (weight or mass) there is an a given volume (the amount of water the object displaces). So objects which weigh a lot and don't displace much water (have a low volume) will sink, while objects which are light and displace a lot of water will float. The relationship, then is how well the object will float. If it floats, it is less dense than water, and if it sinks it is more dense than water. You might think something like a ship is more dense than water, after all, it is made of metal which is certainly more dense than water, but, the ship is filled with air, which is much less dense than water, and makes up the difference. That is why, when a ship gets a hole in it, it sinks. The water pushes out all the air and makes the total density of the ship greater. When the water, metal, and air inside the ship become more dense than the water outside the ship, the ship will sink. You are probably thinking of Archimedes' principle. Archimedes was a Greek philosopher. The story goes that the king of the day wanted a new crown made entirely of gold. After the goldsmith made it, the king was suspicious that the goldsmith made it of iron and coated it with gold. The king did not want to destroy the crown if in fact it were gold, so he asked Archimedes to figure out if it was pure gold or not without destroying the crown. Archimedes pondered this day in and day out until one day while getting into his bath he discovered the principle that bears his name. The tub was full to the rim, and when he sat down in it, he noticed that the more he sank himself into the water, the more water that spilled over the side of the tub. He was supposedly so happy to make this discovery that he ran out into the streets naked shouting "I found it!" "Urika" . What he discovered is that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object (not the weight). If he knew the mass of that object, and the volume of fluid it displaces, he could determine its density. Since the densities of iron and gold are different, he did a test. He determined the density of the crown and compared it to the density of pure gold to see if they were the same. Legend says they were not the same, so the king was tricked. ============================================= An object that FLOATS displaces the amount of water that has the same weight as the object. If it sinks, it displaces an amount of water that has less weight than the object. This is generally attributed to an ancient Greek known as Archimedes. ============================================== If the object is less dense than water (if it floats on water), it displaces a weight of water equal to the weight of the object. If the object sinks in water, it simply displaces a volume of water equal to the volume of the object. This is known as the Principle of Archimedes.

How do you measure the density of an irregular object that doesnt float?
Ah, the Eureka question. The original questioner in recorded history was of a Greek king whose crown was supposedly made of pure gold. At least the king had given the jeweler a given weight of pure gold and the new crown weighed exactly that amount when it came back. But, the king became suspicious and wanted to be sure his crown was pure gold and the jeweler had not substituted a baser metal for part of the gold. The king sent for Archimedes who had solved many of the kings problems and asked Archimedes to devise a test for making sure the crown was pure gold. Archimedes thought long and hard over the problem. As the legend goes (and it almost certainly didn't happen this way as Archimedes never wrote about it and the first recording of the legend was about 200 years after Archimedes died), when Archimedes lowered himself into the public baths in Syracuse, the displacement of water from his body caused the bath to overflow, thus giving him the insight in how to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object. Archimedes, according to the legend, then went running naked through the streets of Syracuse yelling "Eureka" which translated means "I have found it." So, to get to your answer, the density of an object is by definition the mass divided by the volume. First obtain the mass of the object, usually by weighing it. Now determine the volume by immersing your object into a full container of water and either measuring the amount of water that overflows out of the container, or preferably (at least to my mind) measuring how much water it takes to refill the container. Divide the mass by the volume and you have the density.
What materials absorb sound the best and which do not?
Usually, stuff that is soft will absorb sound.answ2. Sound is a vibration of air molecules, and anything that may be made to absorb energy from the molecules will absorb sound. If the material has soft fibres, and can allow the sound to penetrate easily, (is porous) then the collision of sound molecules with the fibres, will transfer the energy from the molecules to the inelastic fibres, where it will be dissipated as heat.

What is the noun function of the king of Egypt?
The term "king of Egypt" is a noun phrase, a group of words (without a verb) based on a noun (king).A noun phrase functions the same as a noun, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the objectof a verb or a preposition.Examples:A king of Egypt built those pyramids. (subject of the sentence)The pyramid that the king of Egypt built is still here today. (subject of the relative clause)They called a king of Egypt a pharaoh. (direct object of the verb 'called')Its a palace fit for a king of Egypt. (object of the preposition 'for')
