Will items with a density of greater than 1 sink or float when placed in water?
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
How can you make a substance with greater density greater than water float?
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
Why does a fork sink?
To float on water the object should have density less than that of water. But fork have density that is much more greater than that of water.Thus, a fork sinks in water.
When a marble is dropped in a bucket of water it sinks to the bottom. Is it because the marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water or the marble has greater mass volume than the water O?
All of the above? You can say the same thing in many ways. All of the following are different ways of saying the same thing, and all are correct: The marble sinks because the marble weighs more that an equivalent volume of water. The marble sinks because its density is greater than the density of water. The marble sinks because it has a greater mass than than same volume of water (and there is gravity/acceleration).
Why do steel ships float if the density of iron is much greater than the density of water?
The ships are not made of solid iron. They contain much empty space where the cargo and or passengers go. So the overall density of a ship: its TOTAL mass divided by its TOTAL volume is less than that of water.
