Determines if an object will float or sink in a fluid?
Density. An object will float in a substance if its density is less than the density of the substance. The density of water is 1 kg /L or 1 g/ cm3. Anything with a density less than this will float.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
Why mercury is used in hydrometer?
A hydrometer consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. Mercury has a higher density, thus a lower volume for the same weight than lead. It is a toxic liquid metal, but also more dangerous and difficult to clear up the mess when a glass hydrometer is broken
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
B/c the density of mercury is higher than that of glass, while the density of water is lower than that of water.
Would an object float at 3.684 density?
It isn't clear what units you are using, what liquid you are placing it in, and whether that is the density of the object or of the liquid. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
Why do fiber glass goats float?
There average density, probably because they are hollow, is lower than the density of the fluid they are floating on. When this occurs the goats are said to be buoyant.
How do you make an egg to float in vinagar?
Simply put a fresh egg in a glass and cover it completely in vinegar. The egg will float because it has a lower density than the vinegar.
Do straws float in all drinks?
yes they do because of the amount of density!Glass straws do not float in drinks. Their weight allows them to stay in place. Some vary in weight, it depends on the glass materials and method of manufacturing. The thickest walled straws come from Glass Dharma.
Why does an egg float in the glass of salt water?
By adding salt to water, you are increasing the density of the water (essentially how much "stuff" that is in the water). When the density of the salt water becomes greater than the density of the egg, the egg becomes more positively buoyant and will float instead of sink.
'what does density have to do with the ability to float?
the ability to float with density is almost impossible
Do you need more or less density to float?
More density will sink. Less density will float.
How do you make something float then sink then float again in water?
take some raisins and drop it into a glass then fill it with clear vinegar and watch it go up then down.
A sentence with the word float?
The colorful balloons slowly floated away into the clear blue sky.
Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?
No. To float density must be less than 1 (the density of water).
