What else can I help you with?
Why is it that you float on water?
Because water is more dense then our bodies so when things are more dense they sink to the bottom and when they are less dense they float to the top
Do plates become more dense or less dense when they become cooler?
Cooler material is more dense and hotter material is less. This means that plates become more dense as they cool.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
Will a block float in water?
It depends on the density of the block. If the block is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
How does density affect an object to float?
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
When light passes from less dense material to more dense material the light?
bends towards the normal.
How does liquid affect the height of which some objects float or sink?
Floating and sinking is related to density - if something is more dense (i.e. has more mass per volume) than the fluid it will sink, and if it is less dense then it will float. This is why wood floats in water, and helium balloons float in air - helium is less dense than air and wood is less dense than water. Steel ships float because, although they are made of steel which is more dense than water, the air inside them is less dense than water so the overall effect is floating.
How can you determine whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
