What else can I help you with?
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.
Why does the ice cube sinks in alcohol?
An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
Are small components typically made out of aluminum with fins that help to dissipate heat?
Yes, small components like heat sinks are typically made out of aluminum due to its high thermal conductivity properties. The fins on heat sinks increase the surface area, allowing for better heat dissipation by promoting airflow and cooling the component more effectively.
What liquid will sink in milk?
well jaz has a penholder n it has a blue liquid that sinks to the bottem of water with a silver glaze on the top of the blue liquid, it must be like a heavier more solid liquid
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
When an object is placed in a less dense liquid or gas, it will experience a buoyant force acting against gravity. If the object's density is greater than that of the surrounding medium, it will sink; if the object's density is less, it will float. The object will displace a volume of the medium equal to its own volume.
How is the depth an object sinks in a liquid related to the ration of the density of solid to liquid?
An object sinks if it is more dense than the liquid it displaces. So the deeper it sinks, the more dense it is than the liquid it is submerged in.
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
Why does Syrup settles to bottom?
Sirup sinks in water because it is denser. Liquid of higher density always sinks in liquid of lower desity.
What do you call when something hangs or sinks down low?
What do you call when something hangs or sinks down low?
What is surface tension as a physical property of water?
Certain: An object heavier than water usually sinks to the bottom. If you gently place it on the surface however, it might float on the surface due to surface tension. This can obviously not be attained with something like a brick. You need something small like a needle to get to see this effect. Not certain: My guess is that this has something to do with hydrogen bridge bonds. (Something similar to a chemical bond but far weaker.)
Does boiling something use convection?
Yes, boiling something uses convection to transfer heat energy from the bottom of the pot to the liquid. As the liquid at the bottom heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler liquid from the top of the pot sinks down to replace it, creating a convection current that evenly heats the entire liquid.
Is it right to say an object sinks in a liquid because it is heavier than the liquid?
No. That is informal language, and not entirely correct. The object sinks if it has a greater density than the liquid. Density is the weight (or mass) per unit volume.
What is a saturated solid?
forms a sediment when it sinks to the bottom of a liquid.
What is the customary unit of a sinks liquid volume?
5 yk
Does the depth of a liquid effect if an object sinks?
Yes, the density and volume of the liquid play a role in whether an object sinks or floats, not necessarily the depth of the liquid. If an object is denser than the liquid it is in, it will sink; if it is less dense, it will float. The depth of the liquid only adds pressure to objects submerged within it.
Liquid where rock floats and wood sinks?
The liquid that fits this description is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is heavier than most rocks and can cause wood to float on its surface due to its high density compared to the objects it displaces.
When regions of earth's surface sinks down what is it called?
Subsidence.
