What happens when you put plasticine into water?
When you put plasticine into water, it generally does not dissolve because plasticine is a non-water-soluble material. Instead, it will sink to the bottom due to its density. If the plasticine is mixed with water, it can become soggy and lose its shape, but it will still retain its basic properties. Overall, the plasticine remains intact and can be removed from the water without breaking down.
How would you find the density of plasticine?
Roll the plasticine into a sphere and measure the diameter and use the formula for the volume of a sphere V=pi r^2, then weight the sphere to get the mass and use Density = Volume upon Mass. Alternatively, use Archimedes' principle: 1) Weigh a piece of plasticine to get its mass. Very carefully fill a glass with water so full that it cannot contain one more drop of water. Immerse the plasticine in the glass, collecting the water that has run out of the full glass. The volume of the water is equal to the volume of the plasticine. Determine the volume of the water by either weighing it (density of pure water is 1 g per mL) or by accurately measuring the volume. Density = mass (g)/ volume (mL) 2) If you have a balance that can determine mass of an hanging object, first weigh your plasticine to determine its mass. Then attach it to string and take its mass hanging (the string also has mass). Then take its mass while the plasticine is just submersed in water. It will weigh less when submersed in water. The loss of mass when submersed is equal to the mass of water that has the same volume as the plasticine. (density of water is 1 g per mL) Now you can determine the volume of the plasticine since the mass lost in g equals the volume of water in mL. Density is the original mass divided by the volume.
What is Plasticine commonly used for?
If you want to know what Plasticine is commonly used for, it is for child play and use in schools. In schools Plasticine is used for art lessons such as modelling.
Does mercury float on water?
No, it sinks.
Where cool dense water sinks it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.

Does plasticine floating have to do with water displacement?
Yes, plasticine floating is related to water displacement. When plasticine floats on water, it is displacing an amount of water equal to its own weight, in accordance with Archimedes' principle. The buoyant force acting on the plasticine is greater than its weight, causing it to float.
What does mean that plasticine has higher density value that water?
means that plasticine has higher density.
Does plasticine sink in water?
No, plasticine typically floats in water due to its low density. The air trapped within the plasticine makes it less dense than water, causing it to remain on the water's surface rather than sinking.
Why can a plasticine in a shape of a boat can float?
Plasticine is less dense than water, so it displaces an amount of water that is equal to or greater than its weight. This buoyant force keeps the plasticine boat afloat on the water's surface.
What are ways that will make a plasticine float on water?
To make plasticine float on water, you can try shaping it into a boat or a hollow structure that traps air inside. The trapped air decreases the density of the plasticine, allowing it to float. You can also use a larger piece of plasticine to displace more water, increasing its buoyancy.
Does plasticine block a funnel of water from going in to the bottle?
Yes, plasticine can be used to seal off a funnel opening and prevent water from entering the bottle. By molding the plasticine around the end of the funnel, you can create a water-tight seal that blocks the flow of water into the bottle.
What are the forces on the plasticine when it is floating?
When plasticine is floating in water, the forces acting on it are gravity pulling it downward and buoyancy pushing it upward. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the plasticine, keeping it afloat.
What can you do to make plasticine float?
To make plasticine float, you can shape it into a boat or raft-like structure with a concave base. By redistributing the weight and displacing enough water, the plasticine will float instead of sink.
How can hardened plasticine be made soft?
Add water drops this will make it
How do you spell plasticine?
Plasticine, a brand of modelling clay.
