What else can I help you with?
If an object floats in water what can you tell about its density?
You can tell that it is less dense than water which has a density of 1 cc
What force makes an object float on water?
An object floats on water when the buoyant force acting on the object is greater than the weight of the object. This buoyant force is exerted by the water displaced by the object, pushing it upwards. Objects that displace more water than they weigh will float, while objects that displace less water will sink.
What is an object that floats in water?
An example of an object that floats in water is a boat made of materials that are less dense than water, such as wood or plastic. This allows the boat to displace enough water to create an upward force (buoyancy) greater than its weight, causing it to float.
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
What is the property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water?
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."

What phenomenon did Archimedes explain.?
Archimedes discovered that when an object floats in a liquid, it will displace a volume of that liquid which is equal in weight to the object.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
Which metal floats in water?
Sodium. Iron will float if it is a hollow structure according to Archimedes Principle that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water/fluid equal to the weight of the object. A ship will displace an amount of water equal to the weight of the ship, cargo and passengers combined.
Why do metal ships float?
Because the material used to build them is formed into a shape that will displace a lot of water. As the shape settles into the water, once the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object, the object floats at that depth and doesn't settle any further. If the material were all rolled into a solid lump, it would displace much less water, and would sink like a rock.
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
How do you find the mass of an irregular object?
you use the water displacement test. the mass of the displaced water is equal to the mass of the object. because the density of water is one, this means that the volume of the water is equal to the mass of the object * * * * * That is only true if the body floats. Two blocks of different metals, but of the same size will displace the same volume of water. Their masses will not be the same.
What is the property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water?
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."
Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?
No, the amount of water displaced by an object is determined by its volume, not its density. Objects with different densities but the same volume will displace the same amount of water.
What happens to an object if it has a density that is less than 1 gram?
If an object has a density less than 1 gram per cubic centimeter, it will float in water because the density of water is around 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This means that the object is less dense than water and will displace enough water to stay afloat.
