If an object floats in water what can you conclude about its density relative to water?
In general the density of the floating object has to be less than that of water. BUt it is not always necessary to be so. Even dense material could be shaped in such a way it could float on water. The main thing is that the weight of the displaced water has to be more than that of the floating object. This is Archimedes principle.
What is an example of torricelli's principle?
The speed of water flowing through the tank in a given distance.
Why is ship floating on the water but it is made of metal?
Because the volume of water it displaces weighs more than the ship. Archimedes principle says that the upwards force on the ship is equal to the weight (mass) of fluid displaced - so the ship floats
What can be assumed about the buoyant force on an object floating in water?
The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight out of water.
What objects sink in the water?
Those objects that have a greater density than water will sink in the water. This comes from Archimedes' principle which states that a floating object displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the object. If the object has a greater density than the water, then it would displace more water than is possible by its volume, so it sinks.
D the floating of cork in water what is the principle behin?
the density of the cork is lower than the density of the water- so it floats.
What is an example of floating?
If you lay on your back in water without moving, you will float.
How is an iceberg floating in the ocean affected by water pressure and buoyant force?
An iceberg floating in the ocean is affected by the water pressure and buoyant force on the basis of the Archimedes' principle. This dictates that a volume of a liquid must supported by the pressure of a surrounding liquid.Ê
What is an example of a density?
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.

Does the buoyant force on a submerged inflated balloon increase as it sinks?
No, it actually might decrease due to balloon being compressed by pressure. Floating objects are governed by Archimedes Principle which states that the weight of a floating object is equal to the water it displaces. A corollary of Archimedes Principle is that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the volume of water displaced. Therefore, when a balloon is compressed as it submerges it displaces less water and the buoyant force decreases proportionately.
Does water flow faster from the top or bottom?
Fire is hotter at the bottom, because this is where the combustion is taking place. Towards the top of the flame, heat is being dispersed into the surrounding air and it is further away from the site of combustion.
When the boat is fully loaded it floats lower in the water than when it is empty?
As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.
What is an example of torricelli's principle?
The speed of water flowing through the tank in a given distance.
Would you weigh lighter or heavier in water?
You would feel lighter since your body pushes aside a certain volume of water. Weigh this water and this value is taken from you weight whilst floating in water giving you an upthrust. This is Archimedes Principle.
A block is placed in a tank of water and floats as shown The water level rises to height Δh1 The block is then taken out and a block of the same weight but smaller volume that also floats is placed?
Archimedes principle states that a floating body displaces its own weight of water. The density of the water is fixed so the volume displaced by a floating body is is the same for floating bodies of the same weight. The water level will still be delta h1 as the volume of the block is not relevant to the amount of water displaced.
What relation do you find between the weight of the floating body and the waight of water that is displaced?
They are equal.When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down.Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v
