If an object has air in it than no it will not sink in water because air is less dense than water so it will rise in water.

What happen if I have an airtight object with air inside, it is rigid and also has the same density as water. now i submerge the object under the water, and then take the air out of it generating a vacuum, Would the object sink or would it stay in place?

What determines if a balloon filled with a gas will rise or sink in the air?

A balloon filled with a gas will rise or sink depending on the density of the gas inside compared to the surrounding air. If the gas inside is less dense than the surrounding air, the balloon will rise. If the gas inside is more dense, the balloon will sink.


What is an object called when it does not float or sink?

The Object's name is an "Air Craft"If its not... Then I don't really know.


How does the shape of an object determine if it will float or sink?

The shape of an object affects its density and buoyancy. If the object is less dense than the fluid it is placed in (like water), it will float. Objects with irregular shapes may have air trapped inside, lowering their overall density and causing them to float. Conversely, objects with higher density than the fluid will sink.


Orange sink or float?

An Orange with a Skin on will Float- Air will be trapped inside the skin, but an Orange without the skin on, although lighter, has no air trapped, and will, in turn, sink.


What are the factors that determine wether an object will sink or float?

The main factors that determine whether an object will sink or float are its density compared to the density of the fluid it is in. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater. Other factors that can affect whether an object will sink or float include its shape and the presence of any air pockets or empty spaces within the object.


How do you know that an object has air in it?

try to breathe inside it.


Why do balloons filled with air sink?

Balloons filled with air are denser than the surrounding air, causing them to sink. The weight of the balloon and the air inside it is greater than the buoyant force acting on them, resulting in the balloon sinking.


Do barbies sink in deep water?

They have air trapped inside so they should float.


How do air bags reduce the force of an object?

The air inside the air bag will warm up and it will deform as it absorbs energy from the moving object.


Why does a ship built from heavy metal float on water while metal actually sink in water?

An object will sink in water if it has a greater density than the water. This refers to the object's TOTAL or AVERAGE density, not necessarily the density of individual parts. Specifically, in the case of a ship, it includes the air that is trapped inside.
