That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.
Solids are more dense than liquids. This is because of their atomic or molecular configuration. Atoms or molecules in solids are more closely arranged compared to atoms or molecules in liquids.
Gold, because of it's high specific gravity (19.3) will sink. Specific gravity is the indicator of how many times heavier than the same quantity of water.
I believe that this has to do with comparitive relative densities of a. the liquid under consideration b. the actual hydrometeor.
freezes
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Diethyl ether..
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
the water sink is not solid and liquid
sink
The solid silver would sink in liquid silver. This is because the density of solid silver is greater than that of liquid silver. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Since the solid silver is more compact and has a higher mass per unit volume compared to the liquid silver, it will sink to the bottom of the container.
If the density of a solid substance is greater than that of the liquid it is placed in, the solid substance will sink to the bottom of the liquid. This occurs because objects with higher density will displace an equal volume of the lower density liquid, causing the solid to sink.
No. It will sink because ice is denser than ether, and denser things sink to the bottom. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/ml and ether has a density of 0.736 g/ml.
If the density of a solid substance is more than that of a liquid, the solid substance will sink in the liquid. This is because objects with higher density will displace a volume of liquid that has a lower density, causing the solid to sink to the bottom.
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
Both. It all depends in what liquid you place it.
