Have you heard of Archimedes. Well he stated that the weight of water displaced by an object is equal to the weight of the object. From here we conclude that object being more denser than water sinks those being less dense than water floats. An Aluminum cube has a much higher density than that of water and the sheet is less dense than water. Thus the former floats while the latter sinks. Now you also might have noticed that an iron nail sinks while an iron ship floats. I hope now you can answer this question!!
What else can I help you with?
Does aluminum powder float or sink?
Aluminum powder will sink in water because it is denser than water.
Will the wooden cube float in water?
It depends on the density of the wood. If the wood is less dense than water, the cube will float. If the wood is more dense than water, the cube will sink.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.
Will a block of alumimum sink or float?
A block of aluminum will sink in water due to its density being greater than that of water.
Does tar float or sink?
It will float for a while than slowly sink because its density as a cube is Heavier than water (by the way waters density is 0.9-1.0 g and Tar is 1.02 g). I hereby conclude with all reasons that tar ( in a shape of a cube) will float then sink
Will a lump of aluminum sink or float?
Sink
Does aluminum powder float or sink?
Aluminum powder will sink in water because it is denser than water.
What will you do with an aluminum sheet to make it float in water?
A thin sheet of alu foil may stay on the surface as long as there is no water sprayed on it nor immersed under water, then it will sink.
Will a perfect cube sink or float?
it depends what the cube is made out of it depends what the cube is made out of
Would a cube that's 50 gram sink or float in water?
it would sink
What happens when you place an ice cube in a beaker of water does it float or sink?
float dua
Will 5 cm cube sink or float in seawater?
It depends on the density of the cube, not the length of its side.
Will the wooden cube float in water?
It depends on the density of the wood. If the wood is less dense than water, the cube will float. If the wood is more dense than water, the cube will sink.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.
Do aluminum can peices sink or float?
Answer #1: float.==========================Answer #2:The density of aluminum is 2.7 gm/cm3.So, just like steel, if you shape a piece of it just right so that it displacesenough water, you can make it float. But a lump of it will sink in water.
Does aluminum soda cans float in water?
No, aluminum soda cans will sink in water because aluminum is denser than water. The air trapped inside a closed soda can may cause it to briefly float, but it will eventually sink.
Why can aluminum float?
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density.
