Why iron nail sinks in water?
The density of iron is higher than that of water, so the iron nail sinks in water due to gravity pulling it downwards. The weight of the iron nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it from the water, causing it to sink.
What is one difference between water and iron?
Water (H2O) is a chemical compound and iron (Fe) is a chemical element.
Why does water float and sink in water?
Water floats and sinks in water because water in water results in the mixing and diffusion of the water in the other water. This may sound silly, but the question was one dealing with water in water. The mixture of water and water will, after a time, become one homogenous volume of liquid.
Is a metal anchor sinks in water is it physical or chemical?
When a metal anchor sinks in water, it demonstrates a physical change rather than a chemical change. This is because the anchor's material does not change its chemical composition when it displaces water; it simply moves from one state (above water) to another (submerged). The sinking is due to the density of the metal being greater than that of water, which is a physical property.

What is the best brand for cast iron sinks?
Kohler is one of the top rated brands when it comes to sinks, cast iron or otherwise. They are available at Lowe's, Home Depot, and Berry Home Centers.
What happens to water level when something sinks or floats?
A floating object always displaces an amount of water of the same weight of the object. An object that sinks displaces the amount of fluid equal to the objects volume. Water levels rise. So to calculate either, you would need to know the weight or the volume. One other comment, the amounts are different between objects in fresh water and objects in salt water
Where can one find cast iron kitchen sinks?
Cast iron kitchen sinks can be found at many popular retail locations such as Lowes and Sears. Additionally, any local plumbing company can direct you to a company close buy that sells them if you are having trouble locating one.
Why does a ship made of iron floats while a piece of iron sinks?
Because the ship contains a large amount of air in it. But iron nail doesn't have any space to contain air in it. Air is a lightest thing. That can't sink in water. This method is used in submarines to sink it. There is a tank in the submarine. When they need to sink it they fill the tank with water. To float it they use to fill the tank with air.
When you put salt water into tap water which one sinks?
Salt water as it is more dense than water.
What are the current trends in modern bath sinks?
One of the trendiest varieties of bathroom sinks are vessel sinks--these sinks have a free-standing bowl that is mounted to a countertop, reminiscent of old wash basins. These are available in glass, porcelain, cast iron, and even marble. For fixtures, brushed nickel is the trendiest finish.
Soap or styrofoam which one floats?
Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
How much weight can water support?
Water can support a significant amount of weight, as its buoyant force can counteract the force of gravity acting on an object placed in it. The amount of weight water can support depends on factors such as the volume of water displaced by the object and the density of the object. This is why objects float in water if they are less dense than water and sink if they are denser.
Why does coffee powder sinks in water?
because it's density is more than one
Which one has more density the one that floats or sinks?
sinks
What can you tell about objects if one sinks and one floats?
First, buoyancy force must be defined. A force is just a fancy way of saying weight. But, the buoyancy force of an object is an upward acting force on an object in fluid (water in my example) and is equivalent to the weight of the volume of water that the object sitting in the water displaces. So, boats displace a huge volume of water and thus their buoyancy force, which is acting upwards, is very large; so, a boat will float. So, if two objects that displace amounts of water equal to their volume (think 2 blocks of substances) are put into water, and one sinks while the other floats, then the one which sank has a higher density than water and the one which floated has a lower density than water. But, if one object was shaped like a bowl and was floating, then all you can say is that it has a greater buoyancy force than the other object which sank. Note that when an object sinks, it still has a buoyancy force, but this force is not as large as the weight of the object itself, which is acting downwards, overcoming the buoyancy force. This topic gets even more confusing when talking about foams of various geometries, but I hope what I said kind of helps.
