What is the liquid in the inside of a density ball?

The liquid inside a density ball is usually a mixture of different liquids with varying densities, such as water, glycerin, or colored oils. The different densities of these liquids allow the ball to float at different levels when placed in a liquid.


What is definite shape of liquid?

It has no definite shape. The definition of a liquid is a substance that conforms to the shape of its container.


Why does solid water (ice) float when placed in liquid water?

Solid water (ice) floats on liquid water because of its lower density. When water freezes, its molecules arrange in a hexagonal lattice structure that occupies more space than in the liquid state, resulting in a decrease in density. This lower density allows ice to remain buoyant and float on the surface of liquid water.


When a solid substance is placed in water or another liquid particles of the substance break awayand move into a liquid what is this called?

This process is called dissolution, where the solid particles break down and disperse into the liquid. This occurs when the attractive forces between the liquid molecules and the solid particles are greater than the forces holding the solid together.


What happens to the density of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?

I assume you mean a solid that has the same density as a liquid that it is submerged in. If they have the same density, then when the solid is in the liquid, there is exactly zero net force acting on it (weight of solid object is perfectly balanced by bouyant force), so the solid object will just "sit there," assuming there are no other outside forces acting on it (ex. currents, etc.). If the object is dropped into the liquid, for example, it will move deeper into the liquid (because it has downward momentum from the drop) until resistance from the liquid stops its motion, at which point it should remain stationary.

A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative?

density. If the substance is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, it will float. If the substance is more dense than the liquid, it will sink.


How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.


What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?

An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.


The density ofbody is greater than the density of liquid the body will what?

If the density of a body is greater than the density of the liquid it is placed in, the body will sink in the liquid. This is because objects with higher density than the liquid they are placed in will experience a net downward force greater than the buoyant force acting on them, causing them to sink.


What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?

an object will float on a denser liquid


How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of ojects placed in liquid?

The density of the liquid determines the buoyant force acting on an object placed in it. If the object is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. The relationship between the density of the object and the density of the liquid affects how much of the object is submerged and the magnitude of the buoyant force.


What determines whether one will sink or float in another?

The density of an object is what determines whether it will sink or float in another substance. If the object's density is greater than the substance it's placed in, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the substance it's placed in, it will float.


Would an object float at 3.684 density?

It isn't clear what units you are using, what liquid you are placing it in, and whether that is the density of the object or of the liquid. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.


What happen to volume of substance when placed say in a freezer?

A number of factors have to be considered, the state of the substance, solid, gas or liquid. The condensation and freezing point of the substance. The temperature inside the freezer. The pressure Most, but not all, substances reduce in volume and increase in density when cooled. Water for instance, reduces in density when frozen.


What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?

Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid it is placed in. This is because objects with lower density than the liquid will be buoyed upwards by the liquid, allowing them to float.


What effect does the density of liquid have on the buoyancy of an object?

An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.


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
