Assuming the object is solid and doesn't dissolve in water, it will sink. Actually, even if it does dissolve it will sink until it dissolves (table salt for example). If it is a liquid, then it depends on it's polarity. If it is a non-polar substance that happens to be denser than water, it will form a layer on the bottom (most non-polar substances are lighter than water and float on top but there are a few exceptions). If it is a polar liquid, then it will form a solution with water (glycerol for example is a polar substance heavier than water but forms a solution with water instead of sinking to the bottom).
To determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water, you compare their densities. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter. If the solid object has a density greater than 1 g/cm^3, it is more dense than water and will sink. If its density is less than 1 g/cm^3, it is less dense than water and will float.
An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water, which is approximately 1000 kg/m^3. This means that the object must be less dense than water in order to float.
An object's ability to float in water is determined by its density relative to the density of water. If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If an object is more dense than water, it will sink. The shape and size of the object also play a role in determining its ability to float.
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.
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
If the object is less dense than water, the water will be able to keep it afloat. If the object is more dense than water, the water will not be able to keep it afloat, and it will sink.
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
To determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water, you compare their densities. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter. If the solid object has a density greater than 1 g/cm^3, it is more dense than water and will sink. If its density is less than 1 g/cm^3, it is less dense than water and will float.
You can determine if a solid object is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the object is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the object will sink in water. If the density of the object is less than the density of water, then it will float.
the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
