A1) It becomes wet.

A2) a) It might react with the liquid. for example if a piece of Calcium carbide is added to water, it will react to produce acetylene gas and a slurry of Calcium hydroxide.

b) Assuming the process is not reactive, then the object will displace its own volume in the volume of water. If I add a 1gm ice cube to some water, then the total weight will increase by 1 gram, and the level of the liquid will rise by the equivalent height, taking into account the area of the fluid surface.

The added object may float or sink, dependent upon its density - wood will float, zinc will sink. For sinking objects, it will displace the same volume of water as is the volume of the object.

c) Other effects may happen dependant upon whether the object and the liquid were the same temperature.

d) Another effect is that if the object and the liquid have the same refractive index, then it will disappear in the liquid. This is the basis of a test to measure refractive index of glass shards recovered from a crime scene for example.

What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?

an object will float on a denser liquid


Why does liquid rise higher when an object placed in it?

The liquid rises higher when a object is placed inside of it is because the mass of the object takes up space inside the liquid, which pushes the liquid in a direction that has space available.


How does an object's density determines whether it floats or sinks?

An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.


How does an object's density determine whether it floats or sinks?

An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.


The upward push on an object by liquid or gas it is placed in is its?

The upward push on an object by liquid or gas it is placed in is its buoyant force. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.


How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of ojects placed in liquid?

The density of the liquid determines the buoyant force acting on an object placed in it. If the object is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. The relationship between the density of the object and the density of the liquid affects how much of the object is submerged and the magnitude of the buoyant force.


When will an object float in a liquid?

An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object


What effect does the density of liquid have on the buoyancy of an object?

An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.


What happens when an object is placed in water?

it will sink of it will float.


How does a flat shaped object float?

Well it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it is placed in. The object produces a buoyant force that lifts it to the surface of the liquid.


How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
