What else can I help you with?
A scientist immerses an irregularly shaped object into a beaker of water and notes how far the water rises.What property of the object is the scientist measuring?
The amount the water rises is dependent of the volume of water displaced by the object - thus it can be used to measure the volume of the immersed object. If the object did not immerse completely - if it floated - the displaced fluid could instead be used to calculate the relative density of the object - when combined with the total volume.
Why should an object sink in salty water and float in fresh water?
The only possible reason for that would be that after the object floated for a while,the salt ate a hole in it, the water poured into it, and it stopped floating.If the object doesn't corrode, dissolve, or get water-logged, then it might float insalty water and sink in fresh water, because salty water is always more densethan either fresh or distilled water.
Amount of water in an object?
The amount of water in an object can be determined by calculating the difference in weight before and after submerging the object in water. The weight difference is equal to the amount of water displaced by the object, which can then be converted to volume using the density of water (1g/cm3).
Which object despite filling it up can't contain water?
A sieve or a colander cannot contain water because of the holes that allow liquid to pass through.
This calculation can help determine if an object will float or sink?
This great word or maybe even formula is called density. If the density of water is 1, and your drop a stone which weighs 9.3 it will sink. But if it was 1 it would've floated, but if it was a liquid or an oil it would've mixed not floated!!! 8th Grade Science!!! Hope this helps! D= mass over volume
Why do other animals come to the water holes to drink when they see the giraffes are there?

In trial by water if a woman floated what was she?
If she floated she was considered a witch. If she drowned she was considered innocent.
What substance does not dissolve in water but are floated or lifted by water?
oil.

Original car that floated on water?
Aqua-Car
Can a brick floated on water?
No- a brick sinks.
How is it possible that a can with a calculated density greater than 1.00grams could have floated in water?
Buoyancy is related to the amount of water displaced by an object, rather than it's density. You see this with ships all the time. The object may be much more dense than water, but if it can displace enough water to counteract the force of gravitation, it will remain afloat.

Does the water level increase when a submerged piece of wood is floated to the top?
No
Why were people concerned that Owen was in salt water?
He might have floated out to sea
When something goes into a tub of water does the water level go up because of its mass or weight?
Because of it's mass. The water is displaced and raises exactly the volume of the submerged object. Weight does not play a part in it. How heavy or light would only matter if it floated.
