Why does an iron block displaces more water than that of acopper block?

There's no reason to say that it always does that. It only does if it has more volume
than the copper block. If the copper block has more volume, then it displaces more
water than the iron block does.
In fact, if you get a styrofoam block that's big enough, that can displace more water
than your iron block OR your copper block. It just has to be big enough.

How do you make metal float but not on water?
I can make a iron nail float. Simply melt some lead and the iron will float on top of the lead. Your question seems to be with regard to how do Boats float and the answer is Bouyancy. The Boat displaces a volume of water and if the weight of the displaced water is less than the weight of the boat, the boat will float.
Why does an iron ship sink but a lump of iron float?
i believe you mean why does iron sink but the iron boat float. think about a balloon for a moment. if you take an empty balloon you can easily pull it under water, but if you fill the balloon with air and tie it shut, you cannot pull it under water. the same concept applies to the boat. The air inside and around the boat (yes, even if it is completely open with no roof) keeps it afloat
If you Compare a 1kg block of solid iron a 2kg block of solid iron has twice as much?
1. Volume 2. Mass 3. Inertia
How does the movement of molecules inside of a solid block of iron change as iron is heated?
Metals haven't molecules.
Why iron floats on water?
Iron doesn't float. To float it has to be lighter than water. It is heavier.
If 10kg iron block put in sea water what will be the weight of the iron block?
10
If a sample of iron with a density of 7.874 gcm3 displaces 76.0 mL of water when placed in a beaker what is its mass?
The mass of iron is 598,4 g.
Why should float on water while it is made up of iron sinks in water?
Anything which floats on water can only do so if it displaces, or moves out of the way, its own mass of water. Wood floats because it displaces a small amount of water, a large lump of iron is very heavy so it will keep displacing water until it has displaced its own mass.
A piece of iron on top of a piece wood floating in a bathtub If the iron is removed from the wood what happens to the water level in the tub?
This is a factor of many things, for example, the weight of the iron and the wood, the dimensions of the container and how much water there is, but generally the water will rise because if the item is on top of the water displaces its weight in water.
Why does an iron nail sinks while an iron boat floats?
A iron boat is not solid iron it has alot of air inside of the hull and that air means it displaces more water without weighing a lot more and Arcimedes said "Any body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal to, but opposite in sense to, the weight of the fluid displaced" and the nail only displaces the amount of water as the amount of iron it uses. Also on a side note a iron boat would rust :)
How do you make a golum in minecraft?
4 iron blocks in a T shape, with a pumpkin on the top. So: .................¦Pumpkin¦ Iron block¦ Iron block¦ Iron block .................¦Iron block¦
Why does a shape made up of iron and steel floats in water whereas a small piece of iron shinks in it?
Archimedes discovered that... "An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." The story is that Archimedes discovered displacement when he jumped in a bath and the bath overflowed. He found that the amount of water that overflowed was exactly equal to the volume of his body. It was the original "Eureka!" moment. So... If the volume of a boat displaces more weight of the water it is in than the total weight of the hull then the boat will float. A block of iron won't displace more weight of water than the block weighs, so it will sink.
Inwater a steel will float or sink?
It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
Would dropping an anchor into the water from a boat displace more water than before?
An old chestnut this one. Whilst in the boat, the anchor displaces its weight in water, when under the water and lying on the bottom, it only displaces its volume. As it is made from iron which is much denser than water, its volume is much less than the volume of water which equals its weight. So it will displace less water than before it is dropped.
What type of reaction would you get when you combine sodium reacts with iron oxide to produce sodium oxide and iron?
It's a displacement reaction as the sodium displaces the iron
How do you get iron out of an iron ore in minecraft?
In Minecraft,in order to get iron ore out of a mined block of iron you need to smelt the iron ore block in a furnace.
