The paper clip clings to the the magnet
There are only one property of a paper clip. The property to a paper clip is the testing.
A normal paper clip has 4 bends.
Yes, I think a paper clip has mass of about a gram.
Yes, crumbled paper does have more surface area compared to a flat sheet of paper. When paper is crumpled, its fibers are compressed and folded, creating additional surfaces and crevices. This increased surface area can enhance interactions with other substances, such as ink or adhesive, making crumbled paper more effective for certain applications like art or insulation.
The property of water that allows a paper clip to float is surface tension. Surface tension is the cohesive force of water molecules at the surface, which creates a kind of "skin" on the surface that can support the paper clip. Additionally, the density of the paper clip is lower than the water, allowing it to float.
The hypothesis could be: If the paper clip is placed in a container of water and a material with a lower density than water is introduced, then the paper clip will float on the surface of the water due to the buoyant force acting on it.
The paper clip did not float on ethanol because ethanol is more dense than the paper clip. The paper clip is denser than ethanol, so it sank to the bottom when placed in the liquid.
if you want to make it float follow this steps 1. cut a small piece of paper 2.take a paperclip and attached it to the paper 3.carefully place the paper on the water trying not to get water on top of the paper there you have it a floating paperclip
Yes, a paper clip can float on the surface tension of water if it is carefully placed on the water. The surface tension of water allows certain lightweight objects, like paper clips, to be supported without sinking.
it is due to the surface tension of water. due to the inter molecular forces present in between the molecules of water, the surface of water behave as a stretched membrane. blade and paper clip do not exert enough force to pierce the surface of water. so they flot over the surface of water.
Fill your container with water. Take a tissue, and rip it until you have maybe the size of half a dollar bill. Place the paper clip on the floating tissue. Poke the tissue with a pencil (not the paper clip), and when the tissue floats to the bottom, the paper clip will still be there.
when I did it I got up to 31 but had no more room in my bowl
The paper clip clings to the the magnet
The paper clip was not discovered. It was invented.
A paper clip floats because it is less dense than water. This means that its weight is not enough to overcome the buoyant force exerted by the water, causing it to stay on the surface.
No, it isn't hollow/light enough... Improving answer: But sometimes things don't actually "float" on the water when they are really held up by surface tesion. I have heard that you can make paper clips or pins "float" on the surface of calm water.
