Depends on the size of the paper clip. Paper clips come in a range of sizes. Agreed. Also: The weight of one standard paper clip = 0.00043kg x 9.8m/s2 = 0.004214 N, or 0.000947345 lbf. So if you divide 1 lbf by the weight of a standard paper clip given then with that size of paper clip it would take about 1,056 to make a pound.
Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.
You leave it in water or out in the rain for a long period of time.
The paper clip will not be attracted to the bar magnet as strongly because the sheet acts as a barrier that weakens the magnetic field between the magnet and the paper clip.
When a paper clip is stroked by a magnet 30 times, it becomes temporarily magnetized. This means the paper clip will also act like a magnet, attracting other small metallic objects. However, the paper clip will lose its magnetism over time and return to its original state.
Making a paper clip float can be challenging due to its density compared to water. Paper clips are denser than water, causing them to sink when submerged. To make a paper clip float, you would need to displace enough water to counteract the weight of the paper clip, which may require creative solutions or additional materials.
No, a paper clip will not float in mineral oil because mineral oil has a higher density than a paper clip. The paper clip will sink in mineral oil.
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.
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.
Yes, a paper clip will likely float on alcohol because alcohol has a density lower than that of water, making it less dense and able to support the weight of the paper clip.
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.
Yes
maybe, try IT YOU self
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.
A paper clip is denser than water, so it would sink if placed in water.
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.
