What density table material floats on water but sinks on oil?
pine wood?
What both objects are made of the same material but the heavier object floats but the lighter object sinks?
If the object sinks or floats depends on mass or weight. The object can be made of the same material, but if the weight is not the same (say if it is heavery than water) it will sink.
What sinks in water sinks to the bottom then floats again?
Not Yassine JR
Soap or styrofoam which one floats?
Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
Why does the iron nail sinks in water but katori floats in water?
The iron nail sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. The katori floats because its shape and material make it less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to generate a buoyant force greater than its weight.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
Why plasticine sinks in water?
Plasticine sinks in water because it is denser than water. The material used to make plasticine is heavier than water molecules, so it displaces water and sinks to the bottom.
What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
Does size affect how well a material floats or sinks?
Yes, the size of a material can affect how well it floats or sinks. For example, larger objects with the same density as smaller objects tend to sink due to their greater weight. Additionally, larger objects may displace more water, which can influence their buoyancy.
How does a submarine works that floats then sinks and then again floats?
A submarine sinks as it fills its' ballast tanks with water. Then it uses pressurized air to empty them and float again.
What floats in a bucket of water for 1 minute and then sinks to the bottom?
seamen
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
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.
