Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
What is the only solid that floats in its liquid?
The only solid that floats in its liquid is ice. This occurs because the density of ice is lower than the density of liquid water, allowing it to float on the surface.
What scientific concept explains why oil floats on water?
Oil floats on water due to differences in their densities. Oil has a lower density than water, so it floats on the surface. This is because molecules in oil are less tightly packed compared to water, allowing them to remain on top.
What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
How does density determine an objects ability to float in water?
when some thing is less dense than the liquid it floats
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
What floats and what doesn't floats?
everything which has less density than water will float.....
If a block of wood floats in water what does that mean about its density?
If a block of wood floats in water, it means that the density of the wood is less than the density of water. This is because objects with a lower density than water will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.
Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
If an object floats on water, it means its density is less than that of water. You can calculate the density of the object by comparing its weight to its volume, using the formula density = mass/volume. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, so if the object floats on water, its density will be less than 1 g/cm^3.
Is the density of water more then the density of oil?
Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
