It is likely to sink. However, it may float if it is shaped like a boat.
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
mass is the density of any given object. what i mean by this is that it is how closely together the molecules are placed, aka the density.
Density has its connection with buoyancy.The ability of an object to "float" when it is placed in a fluid is called buoyant force. If an object is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed, it will "float" on the fluid. If it is more dense than the fluid, it will "sink." For example: Metal ships can float because their total density is less than that of the water that they float on.
Error, maybe!
Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object, the object will sink. This is because the liquid is denser and exerts a greater buoyant force on the object, causing it to sink until it reaches an equilibrium point where the buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
an object will float on a denser liquid
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink
We both know it floats
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
The object will sink because the object is denser than water.
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
