Will ships float lower or higher in tropical water?
Ships will float higher in tropical waters because as the density of a fluid decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature.
Why does a thumbtack sink inwater?
Huh, can't you float a thumbtack in water? If it sinks, it means that the amount of water displaced weighs less than the tack.
What density are objects that sink in water?
It's greater than the density of the surrounding fluid medium. For example, a balloon filled with air sinks in air -- falls to the ground -- but floats in water. For water-tight objects, it is the average density that matters. The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. If the object weighs more than the weight of the water it displaces, it will sink, because the buoyant force will be less than the object's true weight. If it weighs less than the weight of the water displaced, it will float. If it weighs exactly the same as the water it displaces, it is said to have neutral buoyancy and will appear to be and behave as if it were weightless. In other words, its apparent weight will be zero. As discussed in the previous paragraph, if a submerged object sinks, we know it weighs more than the water it displaced. We can therefore conclude that it is denser than water.
What determines whether something floats or sinks?
by dividing mass by volume you get density which is how you determine as the density increases the chance of floating decreases It will remain suspended if the mass and the volume is equal It will sink if the mass weighs more than the volume and it will float if the mass weighs less than the volume
How does weight affect buoyancy?
It depends on the two materials involved. The underlying question here is what affect does temperature have on density -- because it is the relative density of an object that will determine whether it sinks or float in a liquid. Most often, the density of a material goes down with increasing temperature (in other words buoyancy goes up with temperature) -- but that is not always the case. Water is most dense at 4°C for instance, which is why ice cubes float. For any common material, it is trivial to find a graph of density versus temperature (try google.com for instance). The lower the density, the more buoyant it will be (it won't be buoyant at all in water if the density is above 1 gram/cm3 though).
What will happen if a solid object immersed in a fluid weighs more than the volume of the fluid displaced by the solid?
Then the solid object has a greater density and will sink.
How buoyancy works?
The concept begins with Displacement, which is when water is Incompressible, objects Immersed in water will displace an amount equal to their own volume.The concept of buoyancy then explains that when the object has density and therefore weighs less than that of the water it displaced, it floats. Therefore if a solid block weighs 10 pounds, but it displaces 9.9 pounds of water, so long as itdoes not absorb water and become heavier, it will just barely stay afloat.All boats float using this principle.
What is when an object is placed in a fluid and the object weighs less by an amount equal to the weight of the displaced fluid?
"buoyancy"

What is the density of normal rubber?

If an object weighs 20 n it displaces a volume of water that weighs 15 n What is the bouyant force of the object?
According to Archimedes principle...An object immersed in water experiences a force equal to the weight of the volume of liquid displaced by it. Here the weight of liquid displaced is 15n. So, the upward buoyant force experienced by that object is 15n.
When an object is placed in a fluid the object weighs less by an amount equal to the weight of displaced fluid is?
this is Archimedes' Principle
What is the density of a liquid if a copper whose density is 8.93 g per cm3 weighs 180 g in air and 162 g when immersed in a liquid?
d liquid = 8.91 g/cm^3
Will ships float lower or higher in tropical water?
Ships will float higher in tropical waters because as the density of a fluid decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature.
What weighs more a brick or a pound of feathers?
The answer is they all weigh the same amount are equal in weight which is different then density
