Why iron ball floats on mercury?
An iron ball floats on mercury because mercury is much denser than iron. The buoyant force acting on the iron ball due to the displacement of mercury is greater than the gravitational force pulling it downward, causing it to float.
Which stone did not sink in the water?
Pumice is a type of stone that floats on water due to its high porosity and low density.
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.
Will aluminum sink or float in mercury?
Aluminium will always float in Mercury. The mass of the Aluminium is irrelevent. If you think of a more common example does it matter how big the piece of wood is as to whether it floats in water? Aluminium floats in Mercury because it is lighter than the same voluime of Mercury just as wood floats on water because it is lighter than same volume of water.
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
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 iron ball floats on mercury?
An iron ball floats on mercury because mercury is much denser than iron. The buoyant force acting on the iron ball due to the displacement of mercury is greater than the gravitational force pulling it downward, causing it to float.
Which stone never fell down in water but remain on the top of water?
Pumice stone floats on water.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Why do iron bob float in mercury?
the iron bob floats in mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
What fraction of a piece of aluminum will be submerged when it floats in mercury?
.199 0r 20%
What floats that is a household item?
A pumice stone. An empty bottle with its top on.
Does ice floats in Mercury?
No, ice would not float in Mercury due to its high temperature. Mercury's surface can reach temperatures of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, which is far above the melting temperature of ice. Any ice that comes into contact with Mercury's surface would quickly vaporize.
Which stone did not sink in the water?
Pumice is a type of stone that floats on water due to its high porosity and low density.
