What would a compound sentence be using the word sink in?
Wood floats on water, but iron sinks into it.
Why does the iron nail sinks in water but katori floats in water?
The iron nail sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. The katori floats because its shape and material make it less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to generate a buoyant force greater than its weight.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.
Why iron bob floats in mercury?
the iron bob floats in Mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
If iron floats in Mercury what does that mean?
It means that mercury is denser than iron.
What is denser than water so water will float?
Anything that doesn't float in water is less dense than water, say iron? So if you drop an iron bar into a glass of water, you can say that the iron sinks or you can interpret it as the water floats? If you are referring to liquid, then mercury.
Why does iron float in a pool of mercury while gold sinks?
It is function of the density of the three metals. The density of iron is less than that of mercury, but the density of gold is greater. Density of iron: 7.86 g/cm3 Density of mercury: 13.53 g/cm3 Density of gold: 19.3 g/cm3 Anything more dense than a liquid will sink in that liquid, and anything less dense will float. For comparison, the density of water is only 1 g/cm3, so all three would sink in a pool of water. Styrofoam for instance is less dense than water and so it floats in water.
Why iron ball floats on mercury?
An iron ball floats on mercury because mercury is much denser than iron. The buoyant force acting on the iron ball due to the displacement of mercury is greater than the gravitational force pulling it downward, causing it to float.
What happens to iron and sulphur when you add water?
The iron and sulphur split because the iron sinks and the sulphur floats so you can separate the mixture
Why do iron bob float in mercury?
the iron bob floats in mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
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.
Is an objects density determines whether it floats or sinks in water?
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.
