What else can I help you with?
Is the buoyancy force or the weight of the block larger?
The buoyancy force is typically larger than the weight of a floating block because the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the block. This relationship allows objects to float when the buoyant force exceeds their weight.
What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
Which property of an object will never affect whether the object sinks or floats?
The color or surface texture of an object will never affect whether it sinks or floats. The buoyancy of an object is dependent on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in.
Why a perspex block sinks in fresh water but will float in very salty water?
The difference in density between the perspex block and the water is what determines whether it sinks or floats. In fresh water, the density of the perspex block is greater than that of the water, causing it to sink. However, in very salty water, the increased density of the water allows the less dense perspex block to float.
How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Whether an object sinks or floats is determined by its density in relation to the density of the fluid it's in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it's more dense, it will sink. The volume of an object alone doesn't affect whether it sinks or floats; it's the relationship between its volume and its overall density that determines its buoyancy.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
Which one has more density the one that floats or sinks?
sinks
Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
What sinks in water sinks to the bottom then floats again?
Not Yassine JR
Soap or styrofoam which one floats?
Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
What determains if an object floats or sinks?
The Density.
Is the buoyancy force or the weight of the block larger?
The buoyancy force is typically larger than the weight of a floating block because the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the block. This relationship allows objects to float when the buoyant force exceeds their weight.
How does a submarine works that floats then sinks and then again floats?
A submarine sinks as it fills its' ballast tanks with water. Then it uses pressurized air to empty them and float again.
Why would a glass marble sink in water but floats in mercury?
The cause is the difference in density; the density of water is 1 g/cm3 and for mercury is 13,5 g/cm3.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.
Witch floats a peeled orange or an unpeeled orange?
A peeled orange floats A not peeled orange sinks
What would not affect the level at which a canoe floats in a pond?
it sinks
