Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink.
Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water.
ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
What else can I help you with?
If an object is less dense than the liquid it is put into it will?
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
Why does float water?
Objects float in water because of a principle known as buoyancy. When an object is placed in water, it experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the water that it displaces. If this upward force is greater than the object's weight, the object will 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.
If something has a density of one will it sink or float?
An object with a density of 1 g/cm³ would likely float in water, as water has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³. If the object's density is higher than 1 g/cm³, it would sink, and if it is lower, it would float.
An object that does not sink in water?
The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.
What determines whether objects float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.
What will an object less dense then water do when placed in water float or sink?
float
What affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
If an object is less dense than water will it float or sink?
It will float.
Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.
What happens when an object is placed in water?
it will sink of it will float.
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.
Will a marble float in water?
No, a marble will sink in water because it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water.
Does the denser object sink in water?
It depends! If it is more dense than water then it will sink. If not it will float.
