Why does a trash bag float when filled with air?
The simple answer is that the density of air is less than the density of water. So a trashbag full of air will float on water. The more complex answer is that floating vs sinking depends on the displacement of water. Let's forget the trashbag, and think of a gallon milk jug. A pint, a pound, the world around... a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. So, if you take a milk jug and fill it with air, it will weigh less than 8 pounds. Thus, it will displace less than 8 pounds of water and it will float. Now, fill it completely full of water (try to eliminate all air bubbles). It might float a little bit due to the density of the plastic being less than water, but it will displace 8 lbs of water (a gallon of water), and then will essentially sink or submerge. Now, empty the milk jug and add 4 lbs of lead shot. The jug will now displace 4 lbs of water (a half gallon) (the weight of the shot), and the rest of the jug will float. Now try 10 lbs of lead shot. It still may have some air in the top. But, once it displaces the 8 lbs of water (1 gallon), it will have 2 more pounds of shot (which will now weigh 2 lbs in the water), and it will sink.
How much water would be displaced by 10cm3?
10 cm3 of water would displace an equivalent volume of water when submerged. This displacement would be equal to 10 ml or 10 grams of water.
How buoyancy works?
The concept begins with Displacement, which is when water is Incompressible, objects Immersed in water will displace an amount equal to their own volume.The concept of buoyancy then explains that when the object has density and therefore weighs less than that of the water it displaced, it floats. Therefore if a solid block weighs 10 pounds, but it displaces 9.9 pounds of water, so long as itdoes not absorb water and become heavier, it will just barely stay afloat.All boats float using this principle.
How much does 10 kg of water weigh?
The weight of 10 kg of water is equivalent to 10,000 grams. This is because 1 kg is equal to 1,000 grams. In terms of pounds, 10 kg of water would weigh approximately 22.046 pounds.
How much weight is needed to stay under water?
The amount of weight needed to stay underwater depends on various factors, including the person's body composition, dive depth, and equipment used. A typical weight for scuba diving is around 10% of a person's body weight, but it is important to conduct a buoyancy check before diving to ensure proper weighting for neutral buoyancy.
How salty does the water have to be for an egg to float?
The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.
When would object float or sink in water?
it depends on a lot of things like what the object is its weight if is has holes what its made of the density of the water the air the pressure and if the thing is floating in calm water or rippling water well in other words it depends by the way i am 10 years old and in fifth grade

Would a piece of cork that is 10 miles wide and 10 feet tall float in a giant pool of water?
Yes. The ability of cork to float in water is a result of its low density. The same principle applies to large ships at sea: while the ship itself is very large and very heavy, the air trapped inside the hull of the ship reduces the ship's average density to less than that of the water, so it will float.
Does dissolved salt float in a cup of water?
No, salt dissolved in water does not float. When salt dissolves in water, it becomes dispersed throughout the liquid, increasing its density. This prevents the saltwater solution from floating in pure water.
The density of water is equal to 10 gcm3 A substance with density equal to 09 gcm3 would in water?
The substance with a density of 0.9 g/cm3 would float on water, as its density is less than that of water (1 g/cm3). Objects with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float on water, while those with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 will sink.

When was Jeffrey Float born?
Jeffrey Float was born on 1960-04-10.
What is specific gravity of crude oil?
Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.
What is the density of an egg in water with 2 tablespoons of salt?
it will float if we throw it from 10 ft it will not broke if we throw it from 11 ft it will break
Which is denser turpentine or water?
Water is more dense than turpentine, by about 10%.
