Is this a trick question? Surely it would sink to the bottom . The buoyant force which lets some things float is equal to the weight of the water displaced. A substance which has greater density than water would displace water which has less than weight it has and
the buoyant force would not be sufficient to support it and it would sink to the bottom.
You have to remember that density is how tightly particles are packed together in a piece of matter. Density also contributes to weight. Think of it like this: which falls faster, a sheet of paper or a crumpled paper ball? The paper ball. So, the higher the density, the higher the weight. In the paper, the weight is spread out. In the ball, it is all concentrated on a certain point. So, if the object has a greater density than the water that it is dropped in, it will sink.
An object denser than water will sink when placed in water. As long as there are no other forces besides gravity acting upon it.
It proceeds straight to Davy Jones' locker if the density is significantly greater than water. However if the objects density is only very splightly more dense it will fall through the water until the increasing water pressure compresses the water slightly and balances the weight of the solid. At that point the object will have a neutral buoyancy and stop falling. To calculate this depth you will need the bulk modulus of the liquid. You can find the bulk modulus of various liquids in references such as Kaye and Laby, Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants [Longmans].
As an example at at a depth equivalent the bottom of the Marianas Trench (about 10,000 m) water has a pressure of 1000 atmospheres and a corresponding density of water is about 1.3 g/cm3
As a substance warms up, its density typically decreases. This is because the particles within the substance gain energy and therefore move further apart, resulting in a decrease in density.
If the mass of a substance is cut in half but the volume remains the same, the density of the substance would also be cut in half. This is because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so reducing the mass will directly affect the density without changing the volume.
If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object, the object will sink. This is because the liquid is denser and exerts a greater buoyant force on the object, causing it to sink until it reaches an equilibrium point where the buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
Nothing.Density = mass(kg)/volume(m3)When we double the mass of a substance, the volume of the substance will be double too.= mass*2/(volume*2)= (mass/volume)*(2/2)=(mass/volume)*1so the density will not change.
Light energy can be absorbed, reflected, refracted, or transmitted when it meets a new substance. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the substance, such as its density and composition.
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
greater the pressure
That would depend upon the density of the oil (which will depend upon temperature), how absorbant of oil the substance was and how deep the oil is. Assuming the substance does not absorb any of the oil then depending upon the oil various things would happen: In some oils such as Car oils, Coconut oil, Crude oil California, Linseed oil which all have a density less than 0.95 g/ml the substance would sink (unless the oil was not deep enough in which case the substance would sit on the bottom of the container and appear above the surface of the oil). In other oils such as Castor oil, Crude oil Mexican, Rosin oil which all have a density greater than 0.95g/ml the substance would float.
If you place the object into the liquid it will sink.
Normally when you heat a substance its volume increases while mass stays the same. It may not be noticable but the density would decrease.
As a substance warms up, its density typically decreases. This is because the particles within the substance gain energy and therefore move further apart, resulting in a decrease in density.
A mixture is formed.
It will sink.
If the mass of a substance is cut in half but the volume remains the same, the density of the substance would also be cut in half. This is because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so reducing the mass will directly affect the density without changing the volume.
Density decreases when the mass of a substance decreases or when the volume of the substance increases. This can happen due to factors such as heating, which can cause expansion and lower the density. It can also occur when adding a less dense material to the original substance, diluting it.
It will sink.
