What else can I help you with?
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
What both objects are made of the same material but the heavier object floats but the lighter object sinks?
If the object sinks or floats depends on mass or weight. The object can be made of the same material, but if the weight is not the same (say if it is heavery than water) it will sink.
How does water sink and float?
Water sinks or floats in other liquids based on their relative densities. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of the object, determining whether it sinks or floats.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
Why some object float and other sinck in the water?
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
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
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.
Would an object of 3.7 cm float why or why not?
Floats when it displaces its weight of water; sinks when it's displaced water weighs less than the object. Huh?
Why does poop floats?
Feces (the technical term) are less dense than water. If an object is less dense than water, it floats. If it is more dense than water, it sinks.
What objects sink or floats?
An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.
