Yes, heavy objects can float on water if they displace a sufficient volume of water based on their shape and density. According to Archimedes' principle, an object will float if the weight of the water it displaces is greater than or equal to its own weight. For example, large ships are designed with hulls that displace enough water to support their weight, allowing them to float despite being very heavy. Conversely, smaller heavy objects, like a rock, will sink because they displace less water than their own weight.
What else can I help you with?
Do heavy objects float?
Heavy objects generally sink when placed in water because the density of the object is greater than that of water, causing it to displace less water and sink. For an object to float, it must displace an amount of water equal to its own weight.
Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?
It is inaccurate because whether an object sinks or floats in water depends on its density. Objects with a density greater than that of water will sink, while those with a density less than water will float. Size and weight alone do not determine whether an object will sink or float.
Why can't heavy objects float without salt?
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.
Objects float in water because water has an?
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
How does an egg float on water?
well you will need something that is sticky and heavy also an item is to wrap around an egg that might make it float.i say it migth float because the light objects float and the heavy one sink.so yes it will
How is salt important in making heavy objects float?
dissolved salt increases the density of solution than the density of heavy metal, which help the heavy substance to float
What type of objects will float on top of water?
The types of objects that will float on water are foil, most rubber, and some plastic.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
Will egg float in water?
no because they are too heavy to float .
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
Why do some objects sink and some objects float?
It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume. This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
