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.
Does volume tell you if something will sink or float?
No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.
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.
What property of matter causes make a substance sink or float?
The density of a substance determines whether it will sink or float in a particular liquid. If the substance's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the substance's density is less than the liquid's 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.
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.
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 a block with a mass of 23g that measures 3cm in all directions float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape. A solid sphere of any object with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 or 1 kg/m3 would not float in water. Any object with a sufficiently large bowl shape would float regardless of density.
Does volume alone determine whether an objects will float or sink?
No, an object's density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines if it will float or sink. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and sink if its density is greater. Volume can influence buoyancy, but it is not the sole factor.
What is the property of matter to float or sink?
The property of matter to float or sink is determined by its density compared to the density of the surrounding substance. If the object's density is less than the surrounding substance, it will float; if it is greater, it will sink. This principle is known as Archimedes' Principle.
Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.
Why can't I float in a pool?
You can't float in a pool because the density of your body is greater than the density of water, causing you to sink instead of float.
