Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
Is the Earth more dense than the water?
BAA. Yes, the Earth's density (compared to water) is around 5.5 times more dense than water.
What is the density in seawater determined by?
Seawater's density varies by temperature and salinity. I.e., cold water is more dense than warm water, and water with a higher salinity (more dissolved salt) is less dense than water with a lower salinity.
Is pebble more dense than water?
Milk is a mixture of various milkfats and other things in water. As such, it makes sense that the density of milk is greater than that of water. However, the density of fat is less than water. The density of milk is not fixed and can vary from milk processor to milk processor; form cow to cow. The density of milk is very similar to that of water. Density of water = 1.0 g/mL Density of milk = 1.03 g/mL If you had a kilogram (2.2 lb) of each of them, the volume of milk would be about half a teaspoon more. That is very close to the same density. With a 1000 kg (450 lb) the difference in volume is about 30 litres/liters (~8 gal.).
Why is gold more dense than water?
There are two reasons why gold is more dense than water. First, the individual atoms of gold are tremendously heavier than the two types of atoms (hydrogen and oxygen) which make up the water molecule. Secondly, the metallic bond that makes gold into a solid substance is stronger than the bonds that hold water together as a liquid, and a stronger bond holds atoms together more closely, and hence more densely.
What is it when a material's density is higher than water's density?
The fluid will sink. You can see it demonstrated by pouring Boron (a dense gas) into a fish tank and then floating a piece of paper or a tin foil boat on the top of the Boron.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
Why is density less than the density of water float or sink in water?
For floating in water: density under 1 g/cm3 For sinking in water: density more than 1 g/cm3
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
Can Antimony float in water?
No, the density of antimony is more than six times greater than the density of water so it will sink in water.
How do you use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in the water?
If its density is less than 1 it will float in water. If its density is more than 1, it will sink in water.
Why can a cruise ship stay a float in the ocean when it is more dense than water?
It is not more dense than water. Density is mass/volume; although made of materials heavier than water its enclosed volume is so high that its density is lower than water.
What happens when a cork floats and a nail sinks?
What happens is that you can see that the density of a nail is more than the density of water and that the density of a cork is less than that of water.
If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?
That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
What is an example of a density?
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.
Do ice and water have the same density?
no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks... Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.
