What else can I help you with?
Will a steel ball float in mercury if it's heated?
No, a steel ball will not float in mercury, even if it is heated. Mercury is much denser than steel, so the steel ball will sink in mercury regardless of its temperature.
Is polystyrene ball heavier than iron ball?
No, iron is denser and heavier than polystyrene. An iron ball would weigh more than a polystyrene ball of the same size.
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead will sink in liquid mercury because lead is denser than mercury. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal, so most metals will sink when placed in it.
Will cork sink or float in mercury?
Cork floats on mercury due to its low density compared to mercury. Mercury has a very high density, so most materials, including metals, will sink in it. Cork, being less dense, will float on the surface of mercury.
Why does a styrofoam ball floats in water?
Styrofoam is lighter than water, so it floats. In nature, heavy objects are more effected by gravity, so they are forced down.
Why iron bob floats in mercury?
the iron bob floats in Mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
If iron floats in Mercury what does that mean?
It means that mercury is denser than iron.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
Why do iron bob float in mercury?
the iron bob floats in mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
What is beldum?
a Beldum is a Pokemon that floats. Its was a Iron Ball Pokemon. They communicate by making magnetic sounds.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
What liquid do rocks float in?
Which rock? Any liquid that is dense enough will support a rock; the most common would likely be mercury, in which even iron floats.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.
What happens to a ball when it is placed in a liquid that is denser than the ball?
It floats.
What happen when iron ball is heated?
The iron ball will expands and the iron ball will be hot .
Why does iron float in a pool of mercury while gold sinks?
It is function of the density of the three metals. The density of iron is less than that of mercury, but the density of gold is greater. Density of iron: 7.86 g/cm3 Density of mercury: 13.53 g/cm3 Density of gold: 19.3 g/cm3 Anything more dense than a liquid will sink in that liquid, and anything less dense will float. For comparison, the density of water is only 1 g/cm3, so all three would sink in a pool of water. Styrofoam for instance is less dense than water and so it floats in water.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
