Aluminum sphere float in water?
If it was solid, no it would not float in water since it would displace less water than its weight. In other words, the density of aluminium is higher than the density of water, and denser objects will sink. If it were a hollow sphere and displaced more weight in water than its own weight, it could float - but that would not be by virtue of the density of aluminum, it would be because it was hollow.
Why do you sink when roled up in a ball and float when fully extended?
The reason for this is not inherent in your posture-- that is, being extended doesn't make you float and being curled up doesn't make you sink. You can't change your density with your posture. What I suspect is happening is that you have let out most of your breath when you curl up in a ball, and don't when you are extended. The amount of air in your lungs DOES change your density, and can determine whether you float or sink.
Why does aluminum foil float?
The aluminum foil is less dense than the water which makesit float. Aluminum foil is not less dense than water. It is more dense. The reason that aluminum foil floats is that the surface tension of the water will hold the sheet of foil. If you still think that the aluminum foil is less dense than water, try floating a roll of foil in a bucket.
Do aluminum cans float in water?
Aluminum has a density of 2.7g/cc which is higher than that of water (1.0g/cc) and ordinarily would sink; if the can was empty and thus (like a boat) able to displace more weight in water (by virtue of its volume) than its own weight, it could then float. However, if it was filled with water, its overall density considering both the metal and the container's content, would be higher than water, and it would sink.
Do eggs float or sink when they are boiled?
unboiled eggs float, but the boiled ones sink.
Will a lump of aluminum sink or float?
Sink
Why will a crumpled ball of aluminum sink in water?
A crumpled ball of aluminum will sink in water because it is denser than water. Even though aluminum can float in its solid form due to its low density, once crumpled into a small, dense ball, its overall density increases, causing it to sink.
Does aluminum powder float or sink?
Aluminum powder will sink in water because it is denser than water.
Will a solid ball float or sink?
float
Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.
Do aluminum can peices sink or float?
Answer #1: float.==========================Answer #2:The density of aluminum is 2.7 gm/cm3.So, just like steel, if you shape a piece of it just right so that it displacesenough water, you can make it float. But a lump of it will sink in water.
Does aluminum soda cans float in water?
No, aluminum soda cans will sink in water because aluminum is denser than water. The air trapped inside a closed soda can may cause it to briefly float, but it will eventually sink.
Will an aluminum ball with a density of 2.70 gml sink or float in a beaker of water?
Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc). A solid object would only float if it displaces more mass than it weighs (i.e., its density is less than water).
Why can aluminum float?
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density.
Will a block of alumimum sink or float?
A block of aluminum will sink in water due to its density being greater than that of water.
Will aluminum soda cans sink or float in concentrated sugar water?
figure it out you stupid
