What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?

Objects that float in water are less dense than water, so they displace enough water to counteract the force of gravity pulling them down. Objects that sink are denser than water and displace less water than their weight, causing them to be pulled down by gravity.


Can the gravity of all objects big and small be felt?

Yes, the gravity of all objects, no matter how big or small, can be felt to some extent. However, the strength of the gravitational force experienced diminishes with distance and mass, so smaller objects or objects farther away have a weaker gravitational effect.


Can a brick float?

Objects denser than water will sink; objects less dense than water will float. Since aluminum metal has a density of around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water has a density of 1.0, a solid block of aluminum would sink.


Will objects with densities higher than water sink or float?

Objects with densities higher than water will sink. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so objects with higher densities will displace less water than their own mass which causes them to sink.


What objects sink in the water?

Those objects that have a greater density than water will sink in the water. This comes from Archimedes' principle which states that a floating object displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the object. If the object has a greater density than the water, then it would displace more water than is possible by its volume, so it sinks.

Why is the moon seems so big?

The moon seems big to people because of how close it is next to Earth and would also seem like it is small when it is further away.

What makes the moon Titan so interesting?

Its big, it has an atmosphere, and there seems to be liquids on the surface.


Why do some objects float and others dont?

Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float


Where do trees get the stuff to grow so big?

Well the the root grow so big so they can collect the water and the top of the trees grow so big to make shade to the bottom of the tree so the water does not evaporate


Why does salt create buoyancy in water?

The salt makes the water more dense ,so that objects can float on the water.


What is it called when a puddle dries up?

When a puddle seems to have 'dried up' it has actually avaporated back into the air in the form of a cloud. This is part of the water cycle and when water has evaporated and condensed into a cloud, it is ready to come back to Earth in the form of rain. So it is one big cycle!


What is the largest Ocean and how big is it?

It is the Pacific and it is so big all the water in the world is less water than the water in that oeacan


Why do some objects float and others do not?

because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink

Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?

objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
