Does helium float or sink in air at room temperature?
Helium is lighter than air. So it will float in air.
Does dolomite sink or float?
Float
Dependent variable on a float or sink experiment?
The dependent variable in a float or sink experiment is whether the object being tested floats or sinks in water. This variable is influenced by factors such as the object's density and volume, which determine its buoyancy in the water.
What makes an item to float or sink in water?
This depends on the density of this item: more denser than water-sink, less denser than water-float.
Do ALMONDS float or sink?
They sink and they float it just depends on the almond.
Will a gas with a vapor density of 1.2 float or sink in air?
A gas with a vapor density less than 1 will float in air, while a gas with a vapor density greater than 1 will sink. Since the vapor density of the gas is 1.2, it will sink in air.
Does the density of a rock cause it to sink or float in water?
Density describes mass per unit volume. Pretty much all rocks will sink unless there is air in it
What are the factors that determine wether an object will sink or float?
The main factors that determine whether an object will sink or float are its density compared to the density of the fluid it is in. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater. Other factors that can affect whether an object will sink or float include its shape and the presence of any air pockets or empty spaces within the object.
Will a gas with a vapor density of 1.2 float of sink in air?
Theoretically is possible.
Does volume tell you if something will sink or float?
No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.
Why would a tomato sink and an apple float in water?
Tomatoes have a higher density than water, so they sink. Apples have a lower density due to air pockets within their structure, allowing them to float.
Why will an soda can float or sink?
A soda can will sink if it is filled with liquid because the overall density of the can plus the liquid is greater than the density of water. However, if the can is empty or filled with air, it will float as the overall density is less than that of water.
How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
What property of matter causes make a substance sink or float?
The density of a substance determines whether it will sink or float in a particular liquid. If the substance's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the substance's density is less than the liquid's density, it will float.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Do you need more or less density to float?
More density will sink. Less density will float.
Does helium float or sink in air at room temperature?
Helium is lighter than air. So it will float in air.
