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.
Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
What part on an object will determine whether it floats?
it is not a part it is the bouancy of the material
What does sawdust do when in water?
Sawdust floats on water due to its low density. Over time, it may absorb some water and become heavier, eventually sinking.
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.
Why would a material of low density be useful?
For making something that floats.
How does a hydrometer work to measure the density of a liquid?
A hydrometer works by floating in a liquid and measuring how high or low it floats based on the liquid's density. The higher it floats, the lower the density of the liquid, and vice versa.
What happens to low density?
If the low density water was put over another fluid of lower density it would sink but if it was put over a high density fluid like Mercury it would floats.
What happens to low density water?
If the low density water was put over another fluid of lower density it would sink but if it was put over a high density fluid like mercury it would floats.
Would poplar float on water?
Yes, poplar wood is lightweight and typically floats on water due to its low density.
How do you check the density of water?
The density of water can be measured using a hydrometer, which is a device that floats in the water and gives a reading based on how high or low it floats. Another method is to use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of a known mass of water and then calculate the density using the formula density = mass/volume.
Will rubber float or sink?
Rubber generally floats on water due to its low density compared to water. However, factors such as size, shape, and added weight can affect whether it sinks or floats.
Why iron bob floats in mercury?
the iron bob floats in Mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
What floats and what doesn't floats?
everything which has less density than water will float.....
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.
Does nylon rope float in water?
Yes, nylon rope typically floats in water due to its low density and ability to repel water.
What determains if an object floats or sinks?
The Density.
