What is the density on fluid of an object sinking?
The density of the fluid affects whether an object will sink or float. An object will sink in a fluid if its density is greater than the density of the fluid. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float.
What law determines an object will float or sink in a fluid?
An object will float in a fluid if it is less dense than that fluid, because the mass of that object displaces less of the fluid than is the volume of the object. An object denser than that fluid would continue to displace the fluid until it met something either solid or more dense.
What is the tendency of an object to float?
Whether a material in any state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) will float in a liquid (or a gas) depends on the relative densities of the materials. (Density is defined as mass divided by volume.) If the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid it is placed in, the object will float. If the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, the object will sink. If the densities are the same, the object will remain stationary assuming there are no other forces acting on it. For a few examples, a plank of wood is (generally) less dense than water, so it would float. A balloon filled with Helium is less dense than air, so it rises. A ball of lead is more dense than water, so it sinks. You can even float a liquid on top of another liquid if their densities are different.
What will happen if a solid object immersed in a fluid weighs more than the volume of the fluid displaced by the solid?
The solid object will sink because its weight is greater than the buoyant force exerted by the fluid on the object. This occurs because the object is denser than the fluid, causing it to displace less fluid than its own weight.
The blank force determines whether or not an object will float?
Doing a science packet. Any way the answer is buoyancy.

If you placed a solid into a liquid what would usually happen?
The Archimedean Principle takes over. The weight of a body immersed in a fluis is equal to the weight of the fluid disoplaced. A solid will either float or sink , but it displaced the fluid. Sometimes the solid may absord the fluid, but there is still a displacement of fluid.

Can a solid object float on air?
If it less dense
What will happen if a solid object immersed in a fluid weighs more than the volume of the fluid displaced by the solid?
The solid object will sink because its weight is greater than the buoyant force exerted by the fluid on the object. This occurs because the object is denser than the fluid, causing it to displace less fluid than its own weight.
What is the force that determines whether or not the object will float?
It it not about force. It is about Density. If a Solid object is denser than the liquid you place it in,it will sink . If it is less Dense than the liquid , it will float. All objects immersed in a liquid, experience an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid which is displaced.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
The blank force determines whether or not an object will float?
Doing a science packet. Any way the answer is buoyancy.
What are fluid frictions?
Fluid friction occurs when a solid object moves through a fluid.
How much salt does it take to make a solid object float?
It depends on the density of the object you are using
How do you modify a solid to make it float in a less dense fluid?
There is no known way to alter a object's density without chemically changing the substance. If you want it to float, remove enough of the substance so buoyant force could keep it afloat.
