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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How does the density of an object that sinks into a fluid compare to the density of the fluid?
Oh boy. Density is the mass per volume...grams per cubic centimeter, tons per cubic yard, whatever. Water's density is one gram per cubic centimeter. An object with lower density than water will sink into water until the number of cubic centimeters corresponding to the mass of the object are below the surface of the water. If the object is 100 cubic centimeters and it weighs 50 grams, half of it will be below the surface and half above. This is buoyancy, or "floating." Cool so far? If an object's density is more than one gram per cubic centimeter, the whole thing will be below the surface of the water. Because the water can't support the weight of the item, it will sink to the bottom given enough time. If it sinks, its density is greater than water...but without weighing it, we can't say how much greater because an item with mass of 5 grams and density of 1.1 grams per cc will sink as surely as a 300-pound anvil with density of 7.2 grams per cc. It just won't do it quite as fast.
Dependent variable on a float or sink experiment?
The dependent variable in a float or sink experiment is whether the object being tested floats or sinks in water. This variable is influenced by factors such as the object's density and volume, which determine its buoyancy in the water.
Why Lead and marble sink?
Lead is denser than water, so it sinks when placed in water. Marble is also denser than water, causing it to sink as well. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in a liquid.
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
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.
An object that sinks into a fluid is?
An object that sinks into a fluid is denser than the fluid it is placed in. The density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, causing it to displace a volume of fluid equal to its own volume and sink.
Which property of an object will never affect whether the object sinks or floats?
The color or surface texture of an object will never affect whether it sinks or floats. The buoyancy of an object is dependent on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in.
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.
How does an object's density determines whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
How does an object's density determine whether it floats or sinks?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
Why do some float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
Why do some objects float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
Is a measure of whether an object floats or sinks in a gas or liquid?
Yeah, it's all about buoyancy as that’s what decides if something floats or sinks in a liquid or gas. I like to think of it as the push a fluid gives to keep things up. If an object is lighter (or less dense) than the stuff it’s in, it'll float. But if it's heavier, down it goes. It’s kind of cool how that simple idea explains everything from boats staying afloat to balloons rising in the air.
When this material is placed in a container of water it sinks to the bottom of the container compared to the density of water the density of the material is?
The density of the material is greater than the density of water if it sinks to the bottom of the container when placed in water.
