What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?

The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.

Why the effect of gravitation is more in liquid than in solid?
Gravitation attracts masses, resulting in an attractive force. In a liquid, the molecules move quickly and move out of the way of a solid object in the liquid. Hence, a dense solid object will sink if its density is greater than that of the liquid because the liquid is displaced by the object as it moves.
Which is most dense liquid water water vapor or ice?
liquid water followed by ice, finally followed by vapor. You can verify this by thinking about what happens when ice is in a cup of liquid water.
What happens when you cool oxygen?
If oxygen is cooled to a temperature of minus 218.79 degrees Celsius, it becomes a bluish liquid. Liquid oxygen has a variety of applications, and it is slightly more dense than liquid water.
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
Is ice cube a solid gas or liquid?
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
What happens to an object when it is placed in a more dense liquid or gas?
it floats
How does an object's density determines whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
How does an object's density determine whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
When objects are less dense than liquid in which they are placed what happens?
They float.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
Why do some objects float when placed in a container filled with a liquid while other sink?
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.
What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
How would you verify the Archimedes principle for objects that are less dense than the liquid?
Two ways to do this: 1) Floating the less dense object on the more dense liquid. To verify the Archimedes principle you need to show that the mass of the liquid displaced by the less dense object is equal to the mass of the less dense object. To do this you need to have a way to determine the mass of the displaced liquid. If the liquid is in a container filled to the brim, then when you place the less dense object in it, the displaced liquid will spill out over the edges of the container. If you can collect and weight that liquid, then you can compare its weight to the weight of the less dense object - they should match. Alternatively, you can find a way to measure the volume of the displaced liquid and calculate the mass from the volume and density of the displaced liquid. 2) Immerse the object completely in the liquid and measure the force required to keep it submerged. This one is more complicated and difficult to execute and measure. The force required to keep the less dense object submerged should be the difference between the weight of the object (when it is not in the liquid) and the weight of the displaced liquid.
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?
density. A less dense object will float on a more dense liquid.
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 relationship between an objects density and the liquid density and the tendency of an object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
How does density affect an object to float?
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.
