If an object floats in oil then does it float in water?
Not necessarily. An object's ability to float in a liquid depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the liquid. Even though an object may float in oil, it may not float in water if the object is more dense than water.
Does volume alone determine if a object can float or sink?
No, volume alone does not determine if an object can float or sink. It depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink.
What would cause and object to float on fluid?
An object would float on a fluid if the density of the object was less than the density of the fluid.
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by its density compared to the density of the fluid. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float. Additionally, the shape and volume of the object can also affect its ability to float.
What most influences whether or not an object will float?
The density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it's placed in is the primary factor influencing whether or not an object will float. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink. Objects that are less dense than water, for example, will float in water.
Why does float exist and what effect would electronic funds transfer systems have on float?
[object Object]
What is the term for the ability to float on water?
This would include the term "buoyancy", which is not limited to objects that float. An objects whose weight is less than the water displaced by it would float. But an object could become suspended below water by the upward force of bouyancy, which acts on all objects in liquid.
Does mass determine whether an object will float or sink?
The density of the object (mass/volume) compared to the density of the liquid.
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
What determines whether objects float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
Can you float on the sun?
Given that you live when you are there, it would be determined by knowing the density of the sun's surface compared the yours
