What else can I help you with?
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
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.
Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?
sink
Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Does silly putty float?
The answer is yes it can, let me explain. A solid ball of silly putty will sink in water, however if you flatten out the ball and turn up the edges to make a bowl shape it will float like a boat.
Why will a crumpled ball of aluminum sink in water?
A crumpled ball of aluminum will sink in water because it is denser than water. Even though aluminum can float in its solid form due to its low density, once crumpled into a small, dense ball, its overall density increases, causing it to sink.
If a ball is dropped into a very viscous liquid it will?
A solid metal ball would sink into the very viscous liquid, a hollow metal ball would float. The speed of descent is dependent on the density of the liquid.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
Why do non soluble solid float nor sink in water?
A solid float on water if the density is lower than the density of water.
What if the density of the solid is equal to the water will it float or sink?
If the density of the solid is equal to the density of water, it will neither float nor sink. The solid will be in equilibrium and remain suspended in the water at a certain depth without sinking or rising. This is known as neutral buoyancy.
