What is something that floats in water?
A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.
What is as heavy as one gram?
One gram is as heavy as a paperclip or a small paperclip.
What floats on water but not even a thousand men can lift?
A piece of paper floats on water but cannot be lifted by a thousand men as it is too light.
How long can a paperclip float?
A paperclip can float for several minutes in water depending on its size and weight distribution. The buoyancy of the paperclip allows it to stay afloat until it becomes waterlogged and eventually sinks.
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."
What does a paperclip do when you put it in water?
im pretty sure it floats
How is it that a boat floats and a paperclip sinks when the paperclip has less mass?
the boat has its mass spread out evenly while a paperclip is like twisted
Hypothesis for why soda can floats in cold water?
because a soda can is full of air. Air is lighter than water, and is therefore boyant and the can floats.
What is the hypothesis of water?
sexy
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
How do you use the scientific method to plan investigation to see if a pencil sinks or floats?
well first you have to create a hypothesis. HYPOTHESIS: if i put a pencil in water, then it will float. then you do the expirement. the expiriment should support your hypothesis. If it floats then your hypothesis was correct. also if you are using two different types of pencils to compare the bouyancy, you have to make sure the pencils are the same size and the same amount of water. Temperature also counts. make sure to write your conclusion, explaining why your hypothesis was right or wrong. also collect data, like how long the pencil(s) took to sink. I hope this helpedd you!
How does ice floats on water?
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on water.
Would magnets attract to a paperclip under water?
magnets dont lose their magnetism under water. According to me magnets do attract paper under water.
How does a paperclip attracts or repels to a magnet in water?
A paperclip will be attracted to a magnet in water just like it would be in air. The water may slightly decrease the strength of the attraction due to the presence of water molecules, but the paperclip will still be drawn towards the magnet. If the paperclip is non-magnetic, then it will not be attracted to the magnet in any environment.
Could a paperclip float on regular water?
no
Why does a paperclip float in water because of surface tension or weight displacement?
A paperclip can float on water due to surface tension, which is the cohesive force between water molecules that creates a "skin" on the surface. This surface tension allows the paperclip to rest on top of the water without sinking, despite its weight. The weight of the paperclip does displace some water, but it's the surface tension that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling it to float. If the paperclip were to be pushed beneath the surface, it would break the surface tension and sink.
Why kerosene floats on water?
kerosene floats on water because kerosene is less denser than water
