How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will sink or float?
First, what will the object be floating on? The principal to your question is: for an object to float, its density must be equal to or less than the density of the liquid on which it is to float. A brick will float on top of mercury, because mercury is more dense than the brick. A cork will float on water because the cork is less dense than water. The same works for gases. An aluminum baking pan will float on the invisible gas sulfurhexaflouride because SF6 gas is more dense than the baking pan.
Can lead weights sink or float?
It depends upon its shape. A solid brick of lead will sink. A lead weight pressed into the shape of a bowl will float, because it displaces more water, and is therefore buoyant enough to float.
When a brick is lowered into a bucket full of water some of the water spills out over the sides why does it happen?
When the brick is lowered into the bucket, it displaces some of the water, causing the water level to rise. If the brick is large enough, it can displace more water than the bucket can hold, leading to water spilling over the sides. This is due to the principle of displacement, which states that an object submerged in a fluid will displace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume.
Even though a brick weighs less than a metal-hull ship a brick in a bathtub sinks but a metal-hull ship in the ocean floats why?
This is due to the principle of buoyancy, which is determined by the density of the object compared to the fluid it's in. A brick is more dense than water, so it sinks. However, a metal-hull ship is designed to displace enough water to create buoyant force greater than its weight, allowing it to float.
What must be equal for a ship or boat float?
The weight of the water pushed away by the hull must be equal to the weight of the ship for the ship to float. A steel ship or boat will float provided their displacement in the water is not low enough to allow water to flow inboard. Once the vessel has displaced its weight, if there is enough freeboard remaining the vessel will float. Displacement and freeboard are the key to a vessel floating.
How much salt does it take to make a brick float on water?
for a brick to float on water 2 thirds of the mixture should be salt
What Solids that don't float on water?
one answer is a brick.A brick does not float on water.
Will a brick sink in the dead sea?
Even though the Dead Sea’s high salt content is famous for making people float, a brick will still sink. The weight and density of a brick are much greater than a human’s, so it won’t float.
Can you give me a sentence using the word float?
The aqua blue toy sailboats float on the tranquil pond unlike the heavy red brick.
What items will float in water Canoe Flower Petal Brick or A Rollar Skate?
Probably a rollar skate. (Not sure. :-|)
How can an whale of 600 lbs float and a brick dont?
Well, whales have special physical attributes that help them keep afloat. for example, it has a special liver filled with oil that helps it to swim. it also uses movement and its fins to keep from sinking. we weigh a tad more than a brick and we still float because we have special adaptations that stop us from sinking - we can swim! can a brick swim? does a brick have these special physical attributes? no! we are alive - bricks aren't.
What method would you use to separate wood and brick pieces?
One method to separate wood and brick pieces is to manually sort and remove them by hand. Another method could be to use a magnetic separator to extract metal pieces from the mixture. Lastly, you could also use a flotation method where wood pieces float while brick pieces sink, allowing for separation.

Does cloth float in water?
The cloth swells as the water enters and occupies the empty spaces amongst the cloth's fibres.
What is a famous quote by Muhammad Ali?
"i am the greatest" "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
How can I effectively apply plaster over brick to achieve a smooth and polished finish?
To effectively apply plaster over brick for a smooth finish, start by cleaning the brick surface thoroughly. Apply a bonding agent to help the plaster adhere to the brick. Mix the plaster according to the manufacturer's instructions and apply it in thin layers using a trowel. Smooth out the surface with a float or trowel, and let it dry completely before sanding and polishing for a polished finish.
How do you do the math for a brick that balances with three quarters of a brick and three quarters of a pound?
1 brink = (¾+¼) brick = ¾ brick + ¼ brick If 1 brick balances ¾ brick + ¾ lb then: 1 brick = ¾ brick + ¼ brick = ¾ brick + ¾ lb → ¼ brick = ¾ lb (subtracting ¾ brick from both sides) → 1 brick = 3 lb (multiplying both sides by 4).
