What does a object do when it is placed in a glass cup with water?
The object will either sink, float, or remain suspended in the water depending on its density compared to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. If the object has a similar density to water, it will remain suspended in the water.
Will cup float in water?
Yes, a cup will float in water if it is less dense than the water. The shape and material of the cup, as well as the amount of air trapped inside it, will determine whether it floats or sinks.
What is the average mass of a Styrofoam cup?
The average mass of a Styrofoam cup is approximately 5 grams.
Can you boil water in a Styrofoam cup over an open flame?
Oh, dude, can you boil water in a Styrofoam cup over an open flame? Technically, yes, you can, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a side of melted cup with your water. Styrofoam is not exactly known for its heat resistance, so maybe stick to a regular pot for your boiling adventures.
Why do leaf disk float in a cup of water?
Leaf disks float in a cup of water because of the air trapped within the spongy mesophyll tissue of the leaf. This trapped air increases the overall buoyancy of the leaf disk, causing it to float on the surface of the water.
What are the Application of density in our daily life?
In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water, creating an oil slick on the surface of the ocean. A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.
Does ice sink under the cup?
No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.

Do thermos cup or styrofoam cup keep water hotter?
thermos cup
What happens when you put a cup in the water and in the cup 2 blocks of wood?
If the cup plus the wood weighs less than all the water that the cup could hold, then the whole thing will float in the water. If the cup plus the wood weighs more than all the water that the cup could hold, then the whole thing will sink in the water. But, after the cup fills with water, the two blocks of wood will float on the surface, while the cup goes to the bottom.
What is the mass of a styrofoam cup filled with water?
The answer will depend on the size of the cup and, therefore, the quantity of water in it!
What is a styrofoam cup?

Can a styrofoam cup keep hot water hot?
A styrofoam cup can help to retain heat, but it is not as effective as materials like ceramic or insulated metal. Hot water in a styrofoam cup will cool down faster compared to using a better insulated material.
Why do raisin brand raisins float?
What ever floats in water is not as dense as water and if it has more density then it will sink. Therefore, raisins have less density than water.
Will a metal cup or a styrofoam cup keep the hot water warm after a short time?
A metal cup would likely keep the hot water warmer for a longer period than a styrofoam cup due to its superior insulating properties. Metal is generally a better conductor of heat, so it is able to retain heat better than styrofoam, which is a poor insulator.
What is the temperature of hot water inside a styrofoam cup?
That depends on many things. This question is too vague. Variables such as starting temp, surrounding environment temp, time it's been in the cup, and thickness of the styrofoam will change the answer
How can I make a styrofoam calorimeter?
To make a styrofoam calorimeter, you will need a styrofoam cup, a lid for the cup, a thermometer, and a stirrer. Cut a hole in the lid to insert the thermometer. Fill the cup with a known volume of water and record its initial temperature. Place the cup in a larger container filled with water and heat or cool the water to a desired temperature. Place the lid on the cup and stir the water to ensure even temperature distribution. Record the final temperature of the water to calculate the heat exchange.
