Why does cold water sink under warm water?
Because cold water has a higher density than warm water. Water contracts when its temperature lowers, causing its density to increase.
Is it easier to float in warm water or cold water?
It is easier to float in cold
What happens when cold water meets warm water?
it becomes a mixture of a warm and cold water :)))
What is the name of the process when warm molecules rise and cold molecules sink?
You are describing convection.
Is warm or cool colors heavier?
Warm colors like to float through the air and cold colors kiss the ground
What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?
Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.
Does a boat sink in hot warm or cold water faster?
It sinks faster in hot water than warm or cold
Why does cold water sink under warm water?
Because cold water has a higher density than warm water. Water contracts when its temperature lowers, causing its density to increase.
How would this cold water cause a density current?
Cold water is more dense than warm water so the cold water has to sink to the bottom which causes a density current.
What ball will drop first in hot water or cold water?
a steel ball bearing will drop faster in warm water then cold water, a beach ball will float better in cold water because cold water is more dense.
Can a egg float in cold water?
They can float in hot. Like if you boil eggs, before you set the pot, water, and eggs on the stove, you see that they don't float until the water gets warm.
When warm air rises cold air will what?
The cold air will sink.
If cold water is denser than hot water then how can you float in a warm water?
The difference in water density (hot-cold) is very small, compared to the difference in density between water of any temperature, and your body. That is, even hot water is more dense that we are, so we still float.
Does ice float in cold water?
Yes ice will float in cold water or any water for the matter. For example icebergs are in fridge cold water (for the ocean can be extremely cold because of the salt and thus takes a colder temperature to freeze) and this still are afloat. Ice will actually float in warm or hot water for a bit until it is dissolved. So yes it can float in any sort of water despite the temperature.
Can a toy boat float in cold water better than in warm water?
There is no difference on how well a toy boat will float in water depending upon the temperature. The ability for an object to float is if it can displace more than its own weight in water, which doesn't depend on the temperature of the water.
How do you wash dishes with Cascade Dawn?
Fill a sink with warm water and a tablespoon of Cascade Dawn, scrub all dishes in it, then rinse off with clean cold water, preferably in adjoining sink
Warm and cold water?
Warm water is little bit hotter than cold water. The temperature of warm water is higher than that of cold water
