Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Would 1.4 g-mL float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
It would sink. The density of water is 1g/mL. Anything with a greater density will sink.
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
How can density be used to predict whether on object will float you sink in water?
Because that's how life is. If the density is greater than the density of water it will sink. If less, it will float.
Why objects float or sink when placed on surface of water?
Because of the comparative density. If the objects density is greater than water it will sink, if less then it will float.
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
Will items with a density of greater than 1 sink or float when placed in water?
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
Would an object with a density of 85g per ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
It would sink. The density of tap water is approximately 1g per ml. Anything with a greater density will sink.
Does casium float or sink?
Float or sink... in what? Look up the density of caesium, and the density of whatever liquid you want to place it in, and compare. The general rule is that a substance will sink if its density is greater than the liquid (or gas) you place it in.
Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
Does the tendency for an object to sink or float have to do with the object's density?
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sink in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
