Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
It depends on the density of the block and the water. If the block's overall density is greater than the water, it will sink. However, if the block is less dense than water, it will float, regardless of the holes.
Would glass iron wood or Styrofoam have the lowest thermal conductivity?
Styrofoam would have the lowest thermal conductivity among these materials. It is a good insulator because it is made up of mostly trapped air bubbles that restrict the transfer of heat. Glass, iron, and wood have higher thermal conductivities compared to Styrofoam.
Would a block of pinewood have buoyancy in water?
Yes, The wood would soak up the water and make it buoyant.
What would happen if you broke the styrofoam up into lots of pieces then threw the pieces into water?
What would happen if you broke the Styrofoam up into lots of pieces, then threw the pieces into water?
What would happen if you put small pieces of Styrofoam into water?
If you put small pieces of Styrofoam into water, they would float on the surface due to their low density and buoyancy. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, which is a lightweight material that does not dissolve in water. Over time, the pieces may become waterlogged if they absorb moisture, but they generally remain intact and do not break down easily in water. The environmental impact of Styrofoam in water bodies can be significant, as it can contribute to pollution and harm aquatic life.
Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
What will happen if wooden block dropped vertically into a basin of water?
The weight of the block at the time of the drop would ensure that the block goes into the water pretty deep depending on the size and weight of the block. After going into the water in the first instance, it would then float.
300 ml equal how many pounds?
It depends (on the density what you are measuring). Block of Styrofoam would weigh less than a block of lead.
If you put ice and lemonade in a Styrofoam cup what would happen after 20 minutes?
You get diluted lemonade.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
What would happen if you sharpened a knife with a block of glass?
it would sharpen
What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why?
Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.
Is styrofoam polar or nonpolar?
Thermoplastic is a term that refers to a substance turning into plastic when exposed to extreme temperatures. This would make Styrofoam thermoplastic.
What are the dimensions of a 1 ton block of Styrofoam?
Density of styrofoam is 100 kg per cubic meter. So 1 metric ton is equal to 1000 kg, so that is 10 cubic meters... or a cube about 2.15 meters on a side (over 6 feet per side)I found another value for the density which was only 30 kg/m3, and so if that were true, the dimensions would be a cube more than 6 meters on a side (over 18 feet per side). Probably depends on the specific type of styrofoam you have what the actually density is.
Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
It depends on the density of the block and the water. If the block's overall density is greater than the water, it will sink. However, if the block is less dense than water, it will float, regardless of the holes.
