What else can I help you with?
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.
Why plasticine sinks in water?
Plasticine sinks in water because it is denser than water. The material used to make plasticine is heavier than water molecules, so it displaces water and sinks to the bottom.
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.
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.
Why an iron nail sinks in water whereas a cork for the same size floats?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that cork floats on water because its cells are empty.Any object dropped into a liquid displaces that liquid. A floating object weighs the same as the liquid it displaces. An object that sinks, weighs more than the liquid it displaces, so the stone is heavier than the cork causing it to sink. and not just that, cork is a lot less dense than a stone is.
What sinks in water sinks to the bottom then floats again?
Not Yassine JR
Soap or styrofoam which one floats?
Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
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 a submarine works that floats then sinks and then again floats?
A submarine sinks as it fills its' ballast tanks with water. Then it uses pressurized air to empty them and float again.
What floats in a bucket of water for 1 minute and then sinks to the bottom?
seamen

How does water sink and float?
Water sinks or floats in other liquids based on their relative densities. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of the object, determining whether it sinks or floats.
How do you estimate the density of a liquid?
You can put it in a glass with water and see if it floats or sinks
What density table material floats on water but sinks on oil?
pine wood?
How do you estimate the density of the liquid?
You can put it in a glass with water and see if it floats or sinks
If you put marbles in the water what happens?
It either floats or sinks...put the marbles in water to test them!
