Density.
The amount of salt and minerals (salinity) increases the water's density and affects the ability of an object to sink in saltwater - for example, it is nearly impossible to sink if you're swimming in the Great Salt Lake in Utah due to the high salinity of the lake. The higher the salinity content, the harder it is to sink an object.
What else can I help you with?
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
If an object floats in water what can you tell about its density?
You can tell that it is less dense than water which has a density of 1 cc
What is the property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water?
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."
An object floats in sea water more readily because of sea water's?
Density. The amount of salt and minerals (salinity) increases the water's density and affects the ability of an object to sink in saltwater - for example, it is nearly impossible to sink if you're swimming in the Great Salt Lake in Utah due to the high salinity of the lake. The higher the salinity content, the harder it is to sink an object.
Does an object that floats displace water?
Yes. A floating object displaces its own mass in water.
An object that floats on the surface of water?
the amount of density
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
When a obgect floats in water the name of the force pushing is?
The force pushing the object up when it floats in water is called buoyant force. This force is a result of the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object in the water, pushing the object upwards.
When an object floats on water there is no gravity acting on it is that true or false?
False. Gravity is always acting on an object, but when an object floats on water, the buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the gravitational force acting on the object, causing it to float rather than sink.
Can the water displacement method be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in the water such as a cork?
Yes, the water displacement method can be used to calculate the density of an object that floats in water. To do this, you would need to measure the volume of the water displaced by the object when it is submerged, and then divide the object's mass by this volume to find its density.
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
Why do lighter objects float higher in water?
It's because of the density of the object; for example wood floats in water because its density is less then the density of water, and metal sinks because its density is more then the density of the water.
