Does copper sink in water?
Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
Why would a glass marble sink in water but floats in mercury?
The cause is the difference in density; the density of water is 1 g/cm3 and for mercury is 13,5 g/cm3.
What object floats in the middle of water?
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
Why does a coin sink but a cruise ship floats?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
Why does coin sink in water but a cruise ship floats?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
How do we decide if an object floats in water using density?
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
When an object floats on water there is no gravity acting on it is that true or false?
False. Gravity is always acting on an object, but when an object floats on water, the buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the gravitational force acting on the object, causing it to float rather than sink.
Does an object less than 1.0 density sink?
No, it weighs less than water so it floats.
Why does an object sink in water?
If on object is more dense than water (1 g/ml) it sinks. If it is less it floats. If it is the same it goes up and down.
Why do some objects float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
