What else can I help you with?
Would the float or sink?
An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is sitting in. If the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
What determines whether an object will sink or float in a fuild?
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in 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.
Does the denser object sink in water?
It depends! If it is more dense than water then it will sink. If not it will float.
Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Will a marble float in water?
No, a marble will sink in water because it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water.
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
How do you know if an object will float or sink in fresh water?
It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than fresh water, it will sink. If it is less dense than the fresh water, it will float.
Why do eggs sink in water?
Eggs sink in water because they are denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in a liquid. Since eggs are denser than water, they sink when placed in it.
What will happen to the object that is denser and less dense in water when immersed in water?
An object that is denser than water will sink when immersed, while an object that is less dense will float. This is because objects with higher density displace less water and therefore sink, while objects with lower density displace more water and float.
