It is usually the more dense item will sink and the less dense item will float, but it also depends on the state of what the 2 objects or elements are. For example, it applies for 2 liquids/gases or a liquid/gas and a solid, but 2 solids will just stay the same as they were stacked up.
What else can I help you with?
How do you make things float?
You can't make things float, things float by it's self's it's density is lower than 1 it can float, if it's density is greater than 1 it can't float.
Will oil make an object float or sink?
It depends on the density of the object and the density of the oil. If the object has a higher density than the oil, it will sink. If the object has a lower density than the oil, it will float.
When would it be appropriate to test density?
Density can be used to determine buoyancy. To find out of something will float or sink, density is a good way to make a prediction.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
What do yodo to make an egg float?
you put it in a cup of water or something that has water in it
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.
What does salt have that can make an egg float?
it has density when dissolved in water making an egg float.
How can you make a substance with greater density greater than water float?
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
Do legos float in liquids?
What liquid? Being plastic, they certainly float in water.
Do salt and sugar and flour make a egg float?
No, salt, sugar, and flour alone will not make an egg float. The density of an egg is higher than that of salt, sugar, and flour, so the egg will sink in these substances. However, if you were to dissolve a large amount of salt or sugar in water to create a solution with a higher density than the egg, then the egg could float in that solution.
How does the stick float can float on water?
A stick can float on water due to its density being lower than that of water. The air trapped within the stick and the porous nature of the wood make it less dense, allowing it to float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight.
How do you make water flote?
You can make water float by adding a substance that is less dense than water, like oil, to create a layer on top of the water. The oil's density is lower than that of water, causing it to float. This can be demonstrated with an oil spill on water.
