What else can I help you with?
If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Why the stone floats in mercury?
Stones do not float in mercury because mercury is a very dense liquid, much denser than a stone. Any object denser than mercury will sink in it. In general, objects float in a liquid only if they are less dense than the liquid.
Can a copper coin float in water?
No, a copper coin will not float in water because it is denser than water. This means that the weight of the coin is greater than the buoyant force it experiences in water, causing it to sink.
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
If you toss a coin into a liquid that in denser than the coin what would happen?
The coin would float.
You toss a coin into a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin. will the coin sink?
no, it will float on the surface
Why will the penny float if you toss it in a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin?
no it wuld float on surface......
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Does a denser object sink or float?
An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.
If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.

How do objects float in salt water?
An object will float when it is less dense than the liquid around it. Because saltwater is denser than freshwater, it is easier for an object to float.
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Why won't an egg float in pop?
An egg will not float in pop (soda) because the egg is denser than the liquid, causing it to sink. In order for an egg to float in pop, the liquid would need to have a higher density than the egg.
