An object will float if its density is less than that of the fluid it is in, while it will sink if its density is greater. To determine this, you can compare the object's weight to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the object displaces a weight of fluid greater than its own weight, it will float; otherwise, it will sink. This principle is known as buoyancy.
What else can I help you with?
Does volume tell you if something will sink or float?
No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.
What is it when something does not sink and does not float?
It is suspended.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
Can scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float. False True?
True. Scientists can use the measure of density to determine if an object will float or sink in a fluid. If the density of an object is less than that of the fluid, it will float; if the density is greater, it will sink.
Can you tell if an object will sink or float by measuring only its volume?
No.
What two things help in determining if an object will float of sink?
You can tell if objects will float or sink byHow buoyant the object isHow dense the object is
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.
Do dead betta fish float or sink?
they float belly upl... they float belly upl... float and, you don't really need to know because it will be easy to tell that it is dead.
How could you tell if an object would sink in water?
if it ways less then 1 it will float
Does copper wire sink or float?
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
