Assuming the object is solid and doesn't dissolve in water, it will sink. Actually, even if it does dissolve it will sink until it dissolves (table salt for example). If it is a liquid, then it depends on it's polarity. If it is a non-polar substance that happens to be denser than water, it will form a layer on the bottom (most non-polar substances are lighter than water and float on top but there are a few exceptions). If it is a polar liquid, then it will form a solution with water (glycerol for example is a polar substance heavier than water but forms a solution with water instead of sinking to the bottom).
Its average density (total mass divided by total volume) certainly is. Beware, because an empty spherical shell made of a material slightly more dense than water, could float. Also a very heavy battleship, constructed mostly of very dense metal, would easily float.
if an object is denser than water then it will sink BUT if it is less dense than water it will float
Objects sink in water because they are more dense than water. If the object is less dense than water, the object will float.
Indeed it is.
But beware the conclusion that if it doesn't sink its density is therefore less. Consider a battleship.
when a object is less dense it will float and if it has more dense it will sink
it will sink
yes
sink
put it in water see if it sinks
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
Less dense than the water.
It all depends on the density of the object. If an object was less dense than water, then it will float. If an object is more dense than water, then it will sink.
ok so when the object hits the water, the water pushes up with the same amount of force (boyancy ) but if the object has a greater density than the water then the object has more force pushing down on the water and then it sinks. more dense=sink, less dense =float
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
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.
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
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.
If the object is less dense than water, the water will be able to keep it afloat. If the object is more dense than water, the water will not be able to keep it afloat, and it will sink.
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
put it in water see if it sinks
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
It depends! If it is more dense than water then it will sink. If not it will float.
other way around, buddy =)
