Water vapor is a gas made of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The surrounding air is a gas mixture consisting mostly of nitrogen (two nitrogen atoms). Water vapor is lighter than air and therefore will rise until it has time to mix with the surrounding air. The resulting moist air is lighter than any nearby dryer air at the same temperature, and so will also rise.

The liquid in the cup rises because the water is essentially an incompressible fluid with constant density: when the fluid is displaced by the object, the fluid can no longer fit into the reduced volume and has to go somewhere else.

∙ 12y agoit rises because the pressure of the objet puts pressure though the water to make it rise somtimes it depends on the weight of the object
AnswerThe object you put in has it's own volume. When you put it in the water the water will raise to compensate for the volume now taken up by the object.Sum Ng

∙ 15y agoBecause your body has displaced a certain amount of water. For example if your body has a volume of 1.5m³ then the level of water in the bath would increase buy that amount, imagine if somebody poured in an extra 1.5m³ of water into the bath, the water level would rise.

∙ 14y agoAir pressure is pushing down with equal force per unit of area (think psi) for the surface of the water in the glass and the surface of the water in the straw. However, since the area of water in the glass is so much greater than the area in the straw, the water from the glass is pushed up the straw until the weight of the water above the glass's water line makes up for the difference in force.

∙ 13y agocause the object takes up space and has volume, the object pushes the water out of the wayyy

∙ 12y agoWhatever space the objects own volumn takes up in the water will cause the water to rise. It is called displacement.

Explain why the metgod of displacement is used to find volume?
The basic way is you take the volume of the water before you put the object in the water, then you measure the volume of the water and object.
How do you get an object to neither sink or float?
You don't put it in water! or in the air!
Explain how the buoyant force acting on an object placed in water can be measured?
measure the water before you put the object in it. and whatever the difference is thats buoyancy
How could you determine if an object has greater density than water?
It will sink when you put it in water. If it floats it has less density then water.
How do you determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
put it in water see if it sinks
What is the Archimedes principle of displacement?
I think it is the volume displacement. When you put an object into a container with a known volume of water, the water will rise, and that change of volume is the volume of the object you introduced into the container.
How do you find volume using displacement?
You can find volume by using displacement:The way you can do this is by filling up a beaker of a graduated cylinder or other measuring device with water.You drop some water in there and then you record how much you dropped. Then you put an object in making sure the object is completely submerged.The water will rise, and you record how much it rose, in Units of Volume (cm3).Then you subtract how much water you put in with the rise of the water when the object was put in.And that's how you find volume by displacement.
What is water displacement?
Water displacement is simply when something (e.g. a block) is put into water, and the water level rises. This is because the block is taking up space, and the water has to move somewhere, and the only place to go is up.
If a object has air inside will it sink?
If an object has air in it than no it will not sink in water because air is less dense than water so it will rise in water.
What determines an object will sink or float?
The Density of the object as long as its .99 grams then it will float because the object has to have less density than water in order to rise above the water.
How can you make oil rise?
Put it in a container of water.
When an object is put in the water do the object increase or decrease its weight?
yes it do
When water is heated why would a submerged object rise faster?
Since you asked, I don't think it would.I think a submerged object would rise slower in hot water than in cold. The densityof the hot water is less than the density of cold water. So whatever volume of fluidthe submerged object displaces has less weight, and the buoyant force on thesubmerged object is less than it would be in cold water.That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.Another answer:I agree. What makes you think an object will rise faster?
What are you measuring if you put an object in water and measure the change in the level of water?
The volume of the object (if it sinks completely) otherwise the displacement of the object.
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
Why does an object bend when put into water?
because of refraction , you see the object "bending"
Why can object heavier than water float in water?
Because the object's weight pushes down on the water itself.That's why if you put in a large object inside,the water pushes itself out.
