sink
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
A solid metal ball would sink into the very viscous liquid, a hollow metal ball would float. The speed of descent is dependent on the density of the liquid.
The only solid that floats in its liquid is ice. This occurs because the density of ice is lower than the density of liquid water, allowing it to float on the surface.
If the density of a solid substance is greater than that of the liquid it is placed in, the solid substance will sink to the bottom of the liquid. This occurs because objects with higher density will displace an equal volume of the lower density liquid, causing the solid to sink.
If the density of a solid substance is more than that of a liquid, the solid substance will sink in the liquid. This is because objects with higher density will displace a volume of liquid that has a lower density, causing the solid to sink to the bottom.
The solid silver would sink in liquid silver. This is because the density of solid silver is greater than that of liquid silver. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Since the solid silver is more compact and has a higher mass per unit volume compared to the liquid silver, it will sink to the bottom of the container.
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
Solid silver has a greater density than liquid silver which means that solid silver would sink.
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Only if it is less dense than the liquid silver, yes. However if both densities of the silver cube and the liquid silver are equal, or the same as each other. Then the silver cube will stay where ever you leave it in the liquid silver.
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Liquid silver is worth the same amount as solid silver. This is not its natural state, and it would have be kept at an extremely high temperature to remain liquid.
Ice (solid water) will float easily in its liquid form due to its lower density compared to liquid water.
Silver would be a solid at room temperature. This is also what happens with gold. If both were heated, then they would be liquids.
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Think about jewelry: have you ever seen a liquid necklace or bracelet? Silver is solid.
At normal temperature and pressure, silver (Ag) is a metallic solid.
