floating candles float higher in the water a they burn because as the candle burns it is decreasing its mass and deplacing less water, so it floats higher....but im not sure? its burning off the wax and makes the candle more buoyant which means it just burns off weigh... sorry for answering so late... enjoy

∙ 14y ago-- Glue or melt the candle to the inside bottom of a cup, roughly as deep as 1/2 the candle.
-- Glue or melt a 25-cent coin to the bottom of the candle, to shift the candle's center of mass down past its middle.

Why when you burn a candle the mass decreases?
Maybe a better question is whether a candle AND it's combustion products gets heavier or lighter. Since a candle uses the oxygen from the air, the total mass gets heavier than the original candle.
Why do you have static electricity?
you have static electricity because it keeps electrons from moving and here is an example........ lets say you hit a candle and you thought that you hit it hard but it didn't fall over because the static electcity didn't let it fall
What is a electro static smoke percipitator?
An electrostatic (one word, not two) smoke precipitator is an apparatus which ionises the gas in a space. The ionised gas molecules attract smoke particles which agglomerate and, when they have reached a sufficient size they fall to the ground under their own weight.
Why is smoke not affected by gravity?
If they go up, it is precisely because of gravity. What happens here is that hot air is lighter (or more precisely, less dense) than cold air, so the cold air pushes it up. The smoke particles will gradually fall down, or sink, in the air, but since they are small, they fall very slowly. Therefore, the upwards movement of the hot air is much more significant.
What is the value of g in upward direction?
Since gravity causes objects to fall downward, rather than upward, I would describe the upward force of g, at the surface of the Earth, as -9.8 meters/second2.
Why do you have to tie back your hair when you are working with a lighted candle?
so that your hair doesnt fall into the candle as then your hair would be on fire,
Is it safe to put a candle in sand?
Yes, but the sand might not support the candle very well, and if the lighted candle were to fall over, there might be a fire danger depending upon where it is located and what materials, other than the sand, surround it. Putting a candle in sand at the beach, for example, would be no problem at all even if the lighted candle were to fall over. But putting a candle in a bowl of sand on the dining room table would be risky because if the lighted candle were to fall over it might cause a fire. Of course, if you don't intend to light the candle, putting it in sand is perfectly safe.
What does Daylight Saving Time have to do with smoke detectors?
Fire safety officials encourage people to use the two annual clock shifts as a reminder to check the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This is especially important in fall, just before the heating,candle, and fireplace season causes an increase in home fires.
When you smoke do it makes your teeth yellow?
When you smoke your teeth do go yellow and fall out gradually.
Why when you burn a candle the mass decreases?
Maybe a better question is whether a candle AND it's combustion products gets heavier or lighter. Since a candle uses the oxygen from the air, the total mass gets heavier than the original candle.
Why is the base of a candle broader?
Stability, they fall over if you put the broad end up.
Why does smoke fall when it is cold?
Rather than smoke, it is really a misty fog that comes about as the result of evaporation of the colder substance, whether in liquid form (cold water) or solid form (ice). Other substances can be used as well, for example carbon dioxide, nitrogen and more.
What is the past tense of the verb to light as a bird perching on a tree branch?
For light, meaning to come to rest, as on a spot or thing or fall or settle upon or to land: the past is lighted.The bird lighted on the branch. My eye lighted on some friends in the crowd.
What happens if water droplets fall on the hot lighted bulb which is ON?
If the water droplet is big enough, the glass will shatter from the fast change in temperature.
What happens if you smoke a little?
@least one more tooth (when your in between 30-50 will fall out) for every time you smoke
If you smoke cigarettes do you smoke menthol or non-menthol?
Since all cigarettes fall into the category of either menthol or non-menthol, the answer is yes.
