A 7.40 cm3 sample of mercury has a mass of 102 g will it float in water?
No, the sample of mercury will sink in water because the density of mercury (13.6 g/cm3) is higher than the density of water (1 g/cm3), indicating that mercury is denser than water and will not float.
How does Saturn float in water if its so heavy?
Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
If you could put earth in a bathtub would it float?
No, the Earth would not float in a bathtub because the Earth is much more massive and dense than water. The force of gravity acting on the Earth's mass would pull it down into the water, causing it to sink.
When heated mercury oxide produces oxygen plus mercury what would be the combined mass of oxygen and mercury if 20g of mercury oxide were heated?
If 20g of mercury oxide were heated, the combined mass of oxygen and mercury would be 20 grams.
If your mass was 82kg what would it be on Mercury?
If your mass was 82kg on Earth your mass would still be 82kg on Mercury.Your weight would be different, if you weighed 82kg on Earth you would only weigh 30.9kg on Mercury.
Does Mercury float?
no, mercury is a substanable resource meaning non waterised substance so cannot float in water No, mercury is heavier than water. It can't float in water. It is actually a metal that is liquid at room temperature and for several degrees around that. That's why it's used in thermometers.
Why does the egg float in salt water?
Egg float in water because the mass of the water is less than the mass of the egg.
What makes us float?
We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.
What mass can float in mercury?
Most materials will float in Mercury because it is so dense. A lump of Lead will float in a bath of Mercury. The well-known metals Gold, Platinum, Tungsten, Uranium and Plutonium are more dense than mercury and would sink. More specifically, any material having a density less than 13593 Kg/m3 will float in a bath of Mercury.
A 7.40 cm3 sample of mercury has a mass of 102 g will it float in water?
No, the sample of mercury will sink in water because the density of mercury (13.6 g/cm3) is higher than the density of water (1 g/cm3), indicating that mercury is denser than water and will not float.
How does Saturn float in water if its so heavy?
Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
Why does a egg float in slat water?
Because the mass of salt water displaced by the egg is equal to the mass of the egg (Archimedes' Principle). If the water were pure it would weigh less and maybe the egg would then sink because it could not displace its own mass of water.
Will a mass of 4.2 grams that displaces 1.6 milliliters of water sink or float?
Float
Would an object that is 3.7 Cm3 float in water?
That depends on the object's density, not just on its volume. For example, the object you mention would float if it has a mass of less than about 3.7 gramms.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
What helps pumice float?
The pumice is not very dense, if the mass of the volume of water displacement is greater than the mass of the rock it will float
Would a piece of wood that's mass is 89 grams float?
If it is made of wood, it is very likely that it will float. The mass alone (89g) is not enough information to determine if something will float. You will also need to know the volume. Divide the mass (in grammes) by the volume in (cubic centimetres) to give you a value of grammes/cc Water has a density of 1g/cc. If the wood has a value less than this then it will float in water.
