its density is greater than water, so it sinks.
Iron sinks because it is denser than water.
Because iron nail is less dense. Like cold water and hot water, one is less or more dense than the other
because its density is greater than the density of water
Because iron is rusting.
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
This really depends on the concentration of impurities in water. More the impurities, faster it will rust the iron nail. To reduce rusting of any iron the best way is to paint the nail.
I don't believe; an iron nail is rusted in lemon juice and ocean water.
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
The nail sinks in water because the gravitational force attracts it downward toward the earth, there is an upthrust of water on the nail which pushes it upwards but, the downward force acting on the nail is greater that the upward force. Hence, the nail sinks in water. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks. The cork floats while nail sinks this happens because of the difference in their densities. The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume. The density of the cork is less than the density of water. This mean the upthrust of the cork is greater than the weight of the cork. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks.
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
Things that are less dense than the water they displace will float (like cork) Things that are more dense than the water (like a nail) sink.
yes it does. try to sink a cork. it doesn't sink but on the other hand a iron nail does.the higher the mass the more the density and so the object sinks.
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
Nothing. It just sinks.
What happens is that you can see that the density of a nail is more than the density of water and that the density of a cork is less than that of water.
Because iron is rusting.
Salt water.
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 :)
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
