What else can I help you with?
What is the property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water?
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."
Does an object that floats displace water?
Yes. A floating object displaces its own mass in water.
When a obgect floats in water the name of the force pushing is?
The force pushing the object up when it floats in water is called buoyant force. This force is a result of the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object in the water, pushing the object upwards.
When an object floats on water there is no gravity acting on it is that true or false?
False. Gravity is always acting on an object, but when an object floats on water, the buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the gravitational force acting on the object, causing it to float rather than sink.
Can the water displacement method be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in the water such as a cork?
Yes, the water displacement method can be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in water. To do this, you would need to measure the volume of the water displaced by the object when it is submerged, and then divide the object's mass by this volume to find its density.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury

An object that floats on the surface of water?
the amount of density
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
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.

What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
If an object floats in water what can you tell about its density?
You can tell that it is less dense than water which has a density of 1 cc
What object floats in the middle of water?
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
If an object floats on water, it means its density is less than that of water. You can calculate the density of the object by comparing its weight to its volume, using the formula density = mass/volume. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, so if the object floats on water, its density will be less than 1 g/cm^3.
