The ability of an object to float on a liquid is influenced by what three factors?

DEnsity of the liquid . Density of the floating object Temperature Remember the Principle of Archimedes. 'The weight/mass of a body i,,ersed im a fluid is euqla to the weight/mass of the fluid displaced'.


When a body floats in liquid?

When a body floats in a liquid, it displaces an amount of liquid equal to its own weight, leading to an upward buoyant force that counteracts the force of gravity pulling it down. If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the body, it will float; if it is less, the body will sink. This is governed by Archimedes' principle.


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it is possible that the body will change from what to what?

As the molecules in a body move with increased speed, i.e. increasing kinetic energy, it is possible that the body will change from the solid phase to the liquid phase, or the liquid phase to the gas phase, and in some cases from the solid directly to the gas phase.


Would i be able to float with ease on mercury?

No, it would not be easy to float on Mercury. Because Mercury has a much weaker gravitational force than Earth, your weight would be much less on Mercury, but you would not float like in space due to the absence of significant atmosphere or bodies of liquid to support your body.


State the principle of floatation?

The principle of floatation states that an object will float in a fluid if the weight of the displaced fluid is equal to or greater than the weight of the object. This is because the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, allowing it to float.

Why does ice floats in liquidand sink in other liquid?

Recall Archimedes's principle. If the weight of the displaced liquid is more than the weight of the body put in the liquid then the body has to float. If weight of the body is more than that of the displaced liquid then body gets immersed.


Why does a person sink in water if there is so much liquid in the body?

its because of the gases that are naturally in the body like methane and oxygen that make the body float.

How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?

If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
