A solid rubber with a mass of 5.9 grams sinks A hollow rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 floats Why?
Because the hollow ball is larger than the solid one. It displaces enough of the fluid to equal its weight, so it floats.
Does ice float or sink?
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure that spaces the water molecules farther apart, making the ice less dense and causing it to float.
Two objects have the same mass one floats one sinks which one has the greater mass?
The question first states that the two objects " ... have the same mass", and then asks "Which one has the greater mass?"This does not compute.Just from the fact that one floats and the other sinks, we can't conclude anything regarding their relative masses, without knowing their respective shapes.Consider all the steel in a battleship being rolled up into a solid ball ...
The solid that is formed and usually sinks to the bottom of a soulution is the?
settable solids
Can energy float in water?
Energy itself cannot float in water as it is not a physical substance that can be contained in a way that would allow it to float. However, forms of energy such as heat or mechanical energy can be transferred to water and affect its properties.
How do Suspensions relate to mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
What kind of solid sinks?
A solid that has a density greater than the density of the medium it is placed in (i.e. water). So a piece of lead is more dense than water, and so it sinks. Styrofoam is not very dense, and it floats.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
How do water's densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
How do waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid from that of most other substances?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
How do waters relative as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
Why a coin sinks while a ship floats?
Ultraoversimplifying it, the coin is solid metal all the way through and weighs more than its volume of water, the ship has a large space filled with air inside it resulting in the weight of the ship and cargo being less than the weight of the volume of water it occupies.This is called buoyancy: the coin has negative buoyancy and sinks, the ship has positive buoyancy and floats.
