What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
What will happen to the liquid with the lowest density?
The liquid with the lowest density will float on top of liquids with higher densities. This is because objects with lower density are less dense than objects with higher density, so they will sit on top of them.
What will an object due if its density is less than one?
Any OBJECT with a DENSITY of LESS THAN ONE (1), will SINK in WATER.
Would an object that a had a lower density than another item be lighter or heavier than the other item?
given the two objects are of equal volume, the one with a lower density would would weigh less.
What planet has a density less than one?
Saturn
What density less than one gram per cubic centimeter called?
Any special name: less dense than water, low density.
What liquid has a density less than water?
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.
Is Uranus' density less or greater than earth's?
As compared to Earth the density of URANUS is less, since Uranus is one among the gaseous planets.
Do dense objects float or sink?
This would depend on the units of density used, but I think you mean with a specific gravity of 1. Specific gravity is a way of expressing density relative to water. An object with a specific gravity of 2 is twice as dense as water, and so it will sink. An onject with a specific gravity of 0.5 has half the density of water and so it will float.An object with a specific gravity of exactly 1 would neither float, nor sink. If you place it in a tank of water just below the surface, it will neither rise to the top nor sink to the bottom. It will stay right where you put it in the middle of the tank.
What is normal density of oil?
depends on oil, always less than one.
Objects less than mm apart can be seen as distinct objects?
Yes objects less than a mm apart can be seen as distinct objects. The lowest limit for the human eye to see is 0.1mm. If objects are any closer they are seen as being one item.
How can one determine if an object will float in water based on its density?
An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink.
