No, a steel ball will not float in mercury, even if it is heated. Mercury is much denser than steel, so the steel ball will sink in mercury regardless of its temperature.
Yes, wood will float on mercury because mercury is much denser than wood. The density of mercury is about 13.6 times greater than that of wood, so wood will not sink in mercury and will actually float on its surface.
No, a solid steel bar will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Only objects with a lower density than water will float.
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
No, steel cans do not float because steel is denser than water. This means that the weight of the steel can is greater than the buoyant force acting against it, causing it to sink in water.
steel will float in mercury
No, a steel ball will not float in mercury, even if it is heated. Mercury is much denser than steel, so the steel ball will sink in mercury regardless of its temperature.
Yes, silver would float in mercury because silver is less dense than mercury. This means that silver would displace an amount of mercury equal to its own weight, allowing it to float on top of the mercury.
Yes, nickel can float on liquid mercury because the density of nickel is lower than that of mercury. This means that nickel will not sink when placed on liquid mercury, and instead will float on its surface.
it will float
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
Just about anything that is lighter then mercury. Dont be tempted to put your gold ring on mercury as it will dissolve in it, and let of a toxic gas while doing so Iron, water, sand, lead, wood, All the things that are lighter then Mercury.
Yes, wood will float on mercury because mercury is much denser than wood. The density of mercury is about 13.6 times greater than that of wood, so wood will not sink in mercury and will actually float on its surface.
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
No, they are not bouyant. They won't float on water, but they will float on mercury.
it is hollow so it will float
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
