What objects to sink or float?
An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
Would a marble go slow if the liquid was cold or hot?
Not by itself, unless it wasn't made of glass. For something to float it has to have a lower density than the object it's trying to float in As glass is denser than water, it will sink!
Which material will float on water?
The material which are less denser than water will float on water..!!
How can you tell an object will float or sink?
take the density. if the density id larger than one it will sink. if the density is not larger than one it will float.If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink. If it is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
If you toss a coin into a liquid that in denser than the coin what would happen?
The coin would float.
You toss a coin into a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin. will the coin sink?
no, it will float on the surface
Why will the penny float if you toss it in a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin?
no it wuld float on surface......
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Does a denser object sink or float?
An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.
How do objects float in salt water?
An object will float when it is less dense than the liquid around it. Because saltwater is denser than freshwater, it is easier for an object to float.
What objects to sink or float?
An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?

How can a penny float?
A penny will not float in water, mainly because it is denser than water. When the penny is placed in water, it displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. Since the penny weighs more than the water it displaces, it will sink.So, in order for the penny to float, you must find a liquid that is denser than solid copper -- or whatever metal or alloy a penny is made of. Mercury -- which is a liquid at room temperature -- is denser than copper. Hence, a penny will float in mercury.Possibly surface tension may allow it to float.
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Does a denser solid float above a less dense liquid?
No, it doesn't. It will drop to the bottom because it will be heaver per volume than the liquid.
