How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.
What happens when lungs you put tissue into water does it float or sink?
Lung tissue would typically sink in water because it is denser than water. The air sacs in the lung would collapse and the tissue would be more solid, leading to sinking rather than floating.
What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?
-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.
Can you use volume alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
Will an object with holes bob up and down in the water or will it sink if it floated before you put holes in it?
It depends on the boyancy of the material and the location of the holes. A ship holed below the waterline will sink. A body board with holes in will float.
How do you make a plastic bottle submarine float then sink and float?
put water in to let it sink... then put air into it to let it float...
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
What method is used to determine float and sink of coal?
they put it in water???
Why do object flout or sink?
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
Does playdough float?
it depends how much you put in water but it usually would sink.

Charlie is testing whether thing swim sink or float he put a plastic-foam board in the water predict whether the board will sink or float.explain your reasoning put a plastic-foam?
Water has a density of about 1.0, knowing this you can tell if an object will sink or float by calculating the objects density.
If an object is less dense than the liquid it is put into it will?
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
Does platinum float or sink?
This depends what you put it in. If you put platinum in water it will sink. Water has a density of 1 g/mLwhereas platinum has a density of about 21 g/mL. Substances that are more dense than the liquid it is submerged in will sink.
Will lithium sink or float in water?
Lithium will react violently with water. Do not put it in water
Do a glass jug float or sink in water?
if you put cap on it flotes if it is a open cap it turns over and sinks
What happens when you put an egg in tap water?
When you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom if it is fresh. Fresh eggs have denser contents, causing them to sink. If it floats, it is an indication that the egg is not as fresh and has probably started to spoil.
