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.
What is true of the mass and volume of the floating object?
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
What happens when an object is dropped into a beaker containing a liquid and then the object drops to the bottom of the beaker?
The density of the object is at least equal to, and possibly greater than, the density of the liquid in the beaker.
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.
How does buoyancy affect the mass of an object?
If the average density of an object is less than water (1.0 g per mL) it will float in water, and if it is more than 1.0g/mL it will sink in water. So the lower the density, the greater the buoyancy.
What does the density have to be greater than for an object to float?
It has to be greater than the density of the fluid in which it is to be floated.
Does the tendency for an object to sink or float have to do with the object's density?
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
What is the density on fluid of an object sinking?
If an object sinks in a fluid then it has a density greater than the fluid. This assumes the object is solid and not shaped like a boat.
What is the relationship with a floating object and density?
The density of an object is related to the density of the fluid it is in because if the density of the object is less than the fluid than it will float. If this density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid it will sink to the bottom.
How does the density of an object tell you if it will sink or float?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the fluid you put it in, then it sinks. If less, then it floats in that fluid.
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
If an object has a density of less that 1 it will?
It will float in water, and in any other fluid whose density is greater than the object's density.
Why do some objects float in fluids but others don't?
Any object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid,and it'll sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid.
How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
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.
One object has a greater density than another when it has?
one object has greater density than another when it has
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
